i am a door to worlds of light
unlock me, swipe on me
i'll keep you company at night
at all times, here i'll be
she bought me on a saturday
said, "mommy look, for me!"
she took me on her holiday
to islands in the sea
i am a box of memories
remember me, then you
i'll show you all your fantasies
we make a life of two
she brought me on a saturday
showed off to friend and foe
she took me every day in may
in school she hid my glow
i am a constant all-in-one
enjoy my endless self
just keep me charged; i'll keep it fun
you can forget yourself
she dropped me on a saturday
said, "whoops, i'm sorry, please be fine"
she took me for repairs one day
that day the sun did shine
i am obsession hiding doubt
forever, keep me here
i'll be there for you when you pout
just promise me, i'm dear
she lost me on a saturday
looked everywhere (a lie)
assumed 'twas i who ran away
but it was her goodbye
i am a human thing, nothing
is certain 'cept demise
i'll try to live, do anything
to be enough f'your eyes
she killed me on a saturday
left me to die alone
i wish i could replay the day
but all i do is groan
i am outdated, useless, old
i am outshone by new
but do they know their time is gold
or only think of you
Spoiler! :
city by the sea
sun sparkles off of wavelets
lapping against lively ports
spindrift
ocean sprays
a sea-salt tang in the air
hanging gardens
blooms wave in the breeze
orange trees, droning bees
vibrant green vines draped over walls
curling lazily
whitewashed buildings by the sea
arches, domes, doorways
sunlight reflecting off lattice windows
wind chimes keep welcome mats company
puffy clouds in the air like a realm in the sky
castles floating by
a winding cobblestone path
ascend turn by turn, row by row
at the peak, twinkling merrily,
a palace of crystal
catches light, laughs with it, lets it go
