Horizons

Horizons June 26, 2013 (Revised February 11, 2014) by Laura D Through my numbness at night I won’t give up the fight Toes can't feel the cold So let these words unfold These timeless hands that brought you here The days without you nowhere near One last breath held under the surface Horizons of bliss that we almost missed We'll slay the demons that never deform These worn-out dreams that now keep me warm As we turn the page surrounded by haze Free of regrets in the best of our days The disconnected dots now seem too real Just give me a pen, you'll feel what I feel But if the air has gone, I'll hold my breath Squeeze till I burst, what a beautiful death What happens next is beyond my control I'll give you my heart, just don't take my soul All we have left is the air we breathe now Lasting as long as our fate will allow Tears realize I can't dream in your eyes Or hold you close when I sleep at night I’m coming home soon, just don't know when I can't promise you that I'll find you again Reels of our ghosts flashing every day Sunshine razor blades that lead me astray Won't forget these nights alone in the cold Holding you close when we’re gray and old Pieces of you and how I'm meant to be All that I need to fix the broken sides of me This is the light I found between the seams Like the brightest eyes ever seen in a dream After all of this time I'll take what is mine Through cracked window blinds My bright eyes redesigned [wrote this in a cabin in new hampshire, working at a summer camp]
