My,
how the sun kisses the flesh of those beneath it
yet can burn them if they stay out for too long
My,
How the wind makes noise
As if singing an endearing, yet eery song
My,
How the color red affects us
A shade of love yet also death
My,
How one can clame love
When later, they stand to regret
My,
How the heart is so strong
Yet fragile all the same
My,
How such irony fills the world
and fate plays us like a game
I have depended on you through it all
now im ready to jump and fall
No more sweet innocent lines
id rather leave behind this pain and claim what is mine.
The black spells all around,
clame my heart without a sound
Prepared to loose my life
to stab my heart with a sharp knife.
Determined to rid of the pain inside
but not knowing how to cope and wanting to hide.
I feel so afraid of the things ive done
of not being accepted and always having to run
The darkness of the night shadows over this wee one
wanting to do anything that is fun
To do something daring, frightening and scary
but longing for some love and comfort to relieve this weary
Not knowing where to look,
not even knowing the Holy book
I dont want my heart to feel so hurt
to feel so burdened and disturbed
I can no longer see his face,
and i feel so distant and scared in this place
All hope is lost at this time
im just hoping he can wait for me
until I conquer this climb
