Bloom

Bloom By Kevin Robey November 4, 2013 Maybe you can see its misery that drowns me in the sea With every blooming seed that hears my screams at night The tidal waves of nightmares free to finally crash In between my teeth, slowly grinding into ash Consequences unforeseen blinding me Can’t trust my instincts when I cannot see Won’t mangle discomfort into searing pain Can’t let these circumstances drive me insane What am I speaking of, did I say that much? The ghosts of the memories I cannot touch Sorry for the vague conspiracies I may leak My truths don’t reveal, they hardly even speak I’ll show you the key, I’ll show you just how To read these cryptic words as they will allow Its all that I want to hide in plain sight You’ll see on my terms what haunts me at night Don’t let this correlate to hate, you can’t relate Just lean in and listen, it isn’t too late I’ll tell you a story about a boy once so bright Never thought the way he felt could ever be right Terror that I cannot see waiting for me Every raging sea in reoccurring dreams Coming into bloom the reason for these times Opening to me, these brighter thoughts of mine
