From the Inside

She was almost a phantom 90% ghost 10% her The leftover ashes from the fire And I wanted to help her Rekindle her warmth And help her follow A trail of smoke to the sky She has been turned grey By others who leave her wanting She leaves me wanting But I crave hunger And I know she is unsure Writing a piano piece for her Quietly sung fears, A chorus away from silence. I’m begging for her to Stand tall and don’t Break eye contact With the mirror I know she’s damn good at Building walls around her But I'm just as good At tearing them down I'll bring her back to the living I'll light a fire for her soul I'll color inside her lines And I'll write a melody to her song And if she’ll let me I'll climb her walls. And open her doors From the inside.
