I no longer know what I want.
It’s not a lingering thought
With the ups and downs
Straight through the ground
Burning away the cinders to ash
Nothing about anything made any sense
Expiations shattering the sound barrier between your ears
Differences didn’t matter in the shadows of your own fears
They echoed off the rim of your cornea
Making it the only things that you saw
There’s anger that I do not understand
Nor why it’s directed at my hands
Which I use to try to comfort and soothe
Changing the spectrum of blue
Not you
But so little of me gets to matter
In between all the pressure and the clatter
Building up without releasing
Breaking in to destroy the grieving
Draining myself down to a drop
So much time has now passed by that is empty
Filled with laughter and love but we are not together anymore
You would rather not have me than to never look at yourself to see where the devouring began
I would rather know and live with what is real than in a world that I can no longer understand
I wish you would try and just take my hand
