You have changed

From the blueness of the sky, there's truth hidden beneath the skin. Conscience knows the scene: if not life, then death holds the truth, so I choose to stay with the truth. You raise love only to take life. You sing love songs to the sun, reciting lyrics of hate to the stars, sharing my time with hate and death, closing my tunnel to shine, changing the channel when I cry, giving motivations of failure when I try, shutting down my dreams as you shout, Placing stones beneath my bed, promoting dreams of unpeaceful rest. You have changed. You give names of turbulent flow: Gravity, you're pulling me down. You used to sing songs of grace to the mercies. Taking one step at a time was our pace; living like kings and queens was the price. Giving reasons, you've become seasons— you're falling leaves in the rainy season. You open the eyes of the blind not to see, You stir angry waves in the ocean: fighting for the sea, lullabies you used to sing— Not with skepticism ;you were amazing. But now, you have changed.
