Blue Rainbow

Confusion rakes away at my brain I don’t want to face this life…this pain Yet I can’t leave behind those many others Living life and love till it smothers No one feels quite the same In a shining sun, or a pouring rain No one feels it’s quite enough Life right now’s just too tough Love is just a word, not a life-changer But the concept of it is to me but a stranger Words seem to lift and sink the souls of everyone But in reality, this concept of souls relates to no one I’m so confused, it aches…it picks Loving in opposite directions makes me sick Why can’t we all sail the same way? Why can’t the current and the winds stop today? I’m sorry I fail to understand you I’m sorry for this rainbow in many shades of blue Out in the distance in doubles and crosses Dripping out tears in the rusty faucets The hues of color are full of doubt Skeletons in the closet are crawling out Because for a short time I made your day But in reality…I took all your GOOD days away
