"Tender Golden Moments" Inspired by Rise of the Vicious Princess:

Tender Golden Moments

Work. Eat.

Sleep. Repeat.

I need more from life than this,

more than the stress of work,

more than shallow, passing conversations,

more than being alive and alone.

I live for tender golden moments,

the parts where I wish time would slow

so the feelings of completeness, of belonging,

would linger with me longer.


Moments when my hand is held

Moments when my arms fit perfectly around you

as I knew they would

Moments when we find each other in a crowd

and you smile because it’s me

Moments when I’m heard

and it doesn’t really matter what I say

or what you say in return

because we’re in this space together now

Moments when you hold me close

Moments that dissolve into laughter

and we can’t remember why we started


My monotonous, gray days

have gone on too long.

I need another golden moment.

I need you

to be here.
