~"I'm not afraid of falling. I'm afraid-- There's no one willing to catch me."

When starlight steals away the blue
And skylines adorn velvet hues
In moonlit ripples shimmer true
Blinded eyes redeem virtue

The lamppost lingers in the cold
Whisp’ry touches hearts of gold
And half a world in slumber’s hold
(When everything’s all bought and sold)

Through sleepless strolls of midnight rain
Memories by hunger maimed
Vibrant streets by moonlight plain
The last escape by silence slain

The sunlight streams secluded gleams
And pierces pretense bright
In starlit beams of broken dreams--
(--When everything's just as it seems--)

It hurts to see the light.

~"I'm not afraid of falling. I'm afraid-- There's no one willing to catch me."

When starlight steals away the blue
And skylines adorn velvet hues
In moonlit ripples shimmer true
Blinded eyes redeem virtue

The lamppost lingers in the cold
Whisp’ry touches hearts of gold
And half a world in slumber’s hold
(When everything’s all bought and sold)

Through sleepless strolls of midnight rain
Memories by hunger maimed
Vibrant streets by moonlight plain
The last escape by silence slain

The sunlight streams secluded gleams
And pierces pretense bright
In starlit beams of broken dreams--
(--When everything's just as it seems--)

It hurts to see the light.
