A Better Fate

My ghosts are my own And this sky is for you, True blue and wide as a dream. All that we could ever share Is just a glimpse of happiness In a maddening crowd of faces. Am I wrong to say that we belong? Or is it just my soul starting to speak? For the very first time, I knew. Either way, You are a better fate than violets.
