You can not will my sky to fall
and I no longer bow to self destruction
but that does not mean I do not bleed--
When words are said without meaning
indifference poisons the soul

Nights that smuggle warmth
trip the day as it smiles sadly,
longing to fall into night’s arms
But he is oblivious to the dawn
He showers the earth with gloom,
taking for granted its delirium
and she will not address intuition

I lost all the glitter the night
had littered into my bed-
sheets lie cold;
the walls are washed in grey
Nursing battle wounds,
I stare at the ceiling
that whispers nights name to me
while sleep hides in the mist

I proposition the sun to find corners
and fill the air with warmth-
for only when I see the sky
do I remember who I am

You can not will my sky to fall
and I no longer bow to self destruction
but that does not mean I do not bleed--
When words are said without meaning
indifference poisons the soul

Nights that smuggle warmth
trip the day as it smiles sadly,
longing to fall into night’s arms
But he is oblivious to the dawn
He showers the earth with gloom,
taking for granted its delirium
and she will not address intuition

I lost all the glitter the night
had littered into my bed-
sheets lie cold;
the walls are washed in grey
Nursing battle wounds,
I stare at the ceiling
that whispers nights name to me
while sleep hides in the mist

I proposition the sun to find corners
and fill the air with warmth-
for only when I see the sky
do I remember who I am
