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

Twenty five Afraid to live Afraid to tempt fate To want what others have– How sinful of me

Stargazing from within Acknowledging the end I gave myself away To allow what may Standing in my way

Dying a little bit each day I’m a… Yearning for your touch Like the desert yearns for rain Trying to pretend I don’t need yo… That I don’t miss you

You make me crazy Every moment drenched in gold You take hold of me Like a love story once told Swinging in the park

You write me Like lyrics to a song My head spins round My heart feels numb With my finger on repeat

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

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

Running into the eye of a storm Breaking promises that I’ve sworn Wearing a lightening cloak Picking up psyches that I’ve brok… Grey skies

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

Danger stalks far & wide Questions linger in the air Waiting at the curb to catch a rid… Staring at the car lights Ready to set off a flare

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

Flirting w/a monster Speaking words so sinister Amber eyes gleaming Until I wail screaming Finger painting in condiments
