Asking if I’ll be ok While the music Continues to play Crying in the dark Somehow we lost

Dreaming in black & white Bracing for a fight Chasing shadows through the night Trying to avoid all light For fear of being hated

Creating something Out of nothing Piecing together a tapestry Hoping others see its artistry Lingering by the wayside

Dancing in the dark Between the river & the spark Afraid of the sun Of becoming undone Holding my fist in the air

Painting —Playing in the rain Dancing —In the bathroom mirror Praying

Crazy like the weather You blow me away like a feather Trying to convey my soul spark Laughing at me in winters stark Picking me apart

Honey water Glistening on your skin Eyes of silver Shining from within Smiling sweet

Staring into blue Picturing myself with you Dancing in neon lights Drinking till the sun comes up Getting lost in a sea of lonely he…

The organs played As I began to fray Sitting in a state Of being perpetual irate Supposing death a suiting thing

Smiling while letting go Everything black has turned to sno… Digging to unearth buried feelings Searching for love everlasting In this world unabashedly

Crying over you In my dreams Chasing you Through countless streams Traveling from state to state

Maybe we’re wasting time Pretending to be fine Not addressing the strain We inflicted on our brains Naming names

Painting skies In hazy eyes Writing lullabies Watching truth become a lie Hungry for a morsel of honesty

Fighting in shades of gray Mouthing words I cannot say Before the battle ends Night descends Falling upon hearts betrayed
