buttercup!
home ask past theme
I remember us alone waiting for the light to go, can you show me how we can escape?
"

Tell me what you think at night
Your biggest fears and deepest dreams
All the compelling questions
That burn in your mind
Before you fall asleep

Tell me who you were when you were six
Seven
Eight
And nine
Tell me about the time when you were eleven
And how it made you cry

Tell me about the two story house
The place that you called home
Tell me what yearning for freedom was like
To make a place you know
To become on that you had known

Tell me about your twin sized bed
And the sound of your morning alarm
Tell me about your childhood
Back to the day your mother first held you in her arms

Tell me about first day fears and clocks that moved too slow
Tell me how life seems to be moving too quickly
Because freedom sometimes
Can make you feel alone

Tell me when you aced a test you didn’t study for
And failed one you tried so hard to ace
Tell me about your accomplishments
Or moments you wish you could replace

Tell me about your favorite songs
The unforgotten melodies
Tell me how the seem to coexist
With your best and worst memories

Tell me the name of the first person you loved
Or the first person to tell you “I love you.”
How it felt like the most important combination of words
Until you say “I do.”

Tell me about your lessons
And what you learned from them
Tell me about your blessings
And why you’re thankful for them

Tell me about the first time you saw beauty in the word
And society and its ugliness
Tell me how they seem so similar
Because they came from innocence

Tell me how hard it is
To realize your life isn’t what you expected it to be
Tell me how your expectations
Compare to the bittersweet reality

Tell me the stories you love to tell
Whenever you’re reminiscing
Tell me the ones you don’t dare to share
Because I’m here to listen

Tell me what you think at night
Your biggest fears and deepest dreams
Tell me about the name that resonates in your mind
Before you’re fast asleep

Because for me
It’s yours. "
