You are my sunshine

Whenever it’s hard to see what is coming,

I cling to you, my sunshine.

I see you lingering in the bed of shadow and shame,

Come sit beside me, please

Let your sunshine glow, oh how I love your smile

How I love you so.

Don’t you know when I’m being

Suffocated

So black and rich

And dark and brown

My very hurting, pleasing heart being drained and pumped simultaneously

Like some sick game

The oxygen too high

Too much

(I’m

Choking )

I see you, my sunshine,

And I feel like there is fall in my heart again

Yes I’m talking to

You

Shower of sunshine and yellow chocolate red beautiful lemon

Blooms,

My sunshiny beautiful

You,

I have to hide behind so much

Darkness, darling

I can’t tell you this face to face, though I desperately want to.

That’s why you’re in the sunshine

And I’m telling you

This

In

The

Scary dark.
