Between You and the Sun
the devil with the angel’s eyes
is standing on the corner
staring back at me
with one last look of betray
for losing the simple things in life
I am an eternal mourner
guilty of of holding only to
the memories of a dying day
push aside the barriers
between you and the sun
stand above the earth
don’t tell yourself that it will never be
climb the ladder of
subconscious wanderings of love
fall from your perch of self-righteousness
for the darkness will not let you see
the way
the way back home
the simple road
to anything greater than skin and bone
the feel
the feel of love upon your heart
the touch of hope
the fires the gun
that finally says it’s time to start
rising above
