Take Flight

What's earth like?
Because I left in my past life
What's the past like?
Trash life
Like, black night
There was more to you,
We were more than two.
In moments
Your forest grew.
The ups and downs
It's true I wasn't bulletproof
Problems tend to rise 
When we're we're defeated and we tried 
Eating our person
Where?
Inside!
Your forest grew
What I mean is I appreciate you
And my current view
Is coming through.
What I mean is
Your heart was broken
Left open
And Life woke it.
Left the planet 
During moments of panic
What's the message?
I'm making moves 
but an awkward flight
It's like running with your shoes untied.

It's funny when you stay alive.
It's like you avoided bullets,
Or maybe he didn't pull it.
What I mean is like a tree
You became grounded beneath
Unlike me
The Forrest growing you didn't see or believe.
Tell me why it matters
Why every moment felt faster
And we paused when we saw
What we were reaching after.
We grew apart
It was the trend
Another one bites the devil
This cheating can't be leveled. 
What I mean is here's the punchline
Around lunch time
We kissed by a garage
You could say your tongue was tied.
