This world is corrupting you. Just close your eyes, slowly fade away, gentle arms wi ll te. ll you, ‘its all okay.’ We meet in dreams, the pieces fall into place, Like we’d never ever known, how to hurt or cry. But we’ve always known. And we just couldn’t learn, how we do it in dreams, I’d tell you to stay still, because this world is corrupting you, and i’d close your eyes, and it’ll fade away. My arms around you tell you its all okay.

Oh Regina When the world turns its back on you, Regina Spector will be by your side (in an admittedly digital state.) Singing the words to repair you, god she's A beauty.

Light And Tears Do you ever find yourself staring emptily at a cigarette as it burns itself down. In an almost possessed like trance as your eyes glaze over and the lit end becomes an almost magic glow of light. It's become a habit I find myself falling into, when I'm scared or hurt, a defence mechanism, like crying. Only... Safer, easier. Focus on the light. Let yourself wash away, for a few moments of clarity. And reawaken, renewed. And hell, you've even got a cigarette ready and waiting when you snap outa' the trance. Your move, tears.

Mortality Your wings have been clipped but they still reach so far, into the lives you left behind. Your hands are cold now, but they still guide our way. An enduring inspiration, of a #life lived to the full, loved to the full. An epitaph so powerfully optimistic, reaching into our hearts. Your final incomparable act of love to teach us to fight through the pain and the heartache and the rubbish. To keep your love and your hope and your faith as your teammates because they will be the strongest most resilient companions when the world turns against you. Mortality, a terrifying notion to accept, but with you, its simply a beautiful way to save the lives of everyone around you. Your lessons in #life live on in your death. stronger then ever, echoing into our lives. You are the miracle of mortality.

Tonight I still love you. And you love me. And every fucking person in the world can see it. So why the hell can't we?
