The walls are white
The floor is blue
The sky not quite above
Me and you
Just a panel away
Everybody else sits
So completely okay
An inch becomes a mile
The door a barrier
Between us and happy smiles

Curled up so small I unleash
A monster so big
Answering anxieties call
In everyway
It's told not to
Beside me you slash away at
The scary monster
Whipping it with words
Comforting hand squeezes
And cries of favourite bands

We're lead to a cave
Not trapping of us
But of the world
Saving us from
Outside these paper walls
We colour them in
Til ours pencils are blunt
And our eyes
Dry from the tears
That spill our fears out to the open.

You're the dark blue hue set over the beauty of untravelled worlds
Drawing me back to the blanket of a comforting home
Drowning me in sickly sweet memories
Turning my hopes and my dreams to pointless could of beens

You're the poloroids stuck to the shabby cabin walls
A constant burning reminder of what I left behind
A snapshot of a non-existent place
That I yearn so hard to go home and find

You're an anxious longing for untouched perfection
I wish to hold it in my gentle hands
A love for the soft yet constant melody
Of an old song from my favourite band

You hold me back, hugging me in the comfort of your wooden arms
I'm oblivious that the plane I board will turn your wood to charcoal
And my perfect metallic palace
Will rust in the acid rain
