The Wind
Less than the cloud to the wind
Less than the foam to the sea
Less than the rose to the storm
Am I to thee
More than the star to the night
More than the rain to the tree
More than heaven to earth
Art thou to me
Sara Teasdale

In Greek, nostalgia literally means the pain from an old wound.
It's a twinge in your heart far more powerful than memory alone.
Everybody has those memories.
Oh beautiful memories too painful to remember.

♥Age of Innocence♥
Innocence so fragile
Won’t last for a long while
Engulf yourself in this joyous ride
That will soon be washed away by the tide
Years later, when you are time worn
Let that innocence be reborn
Rewind back to those joyous rides
Before you’re hit by the last tides

Purple*
It was your favourite colour
You made me wear it
You made me
When you was painting
Deep colours like
Purple*
Were your pallet
Your canvas was pale white
Clean and pure
Innocent almost
But your aggressive ruined it
Your paintbrush
You held it with power / pride
Dominance
With brutal force
I was your canvas
And your brush / your fist
You smothered me now
I am your favourite colour
Purple*
