Like a whiplash of a storm
A sucker punch of emotions
Just thinking about you now
Lights up my mind in glowing, rainbow Crystalline

I want your purple pink sky
The wonders that lie in your mind
"Can I call you mine?" I asked just now
Your eyes turned into a smile, rainbow Crystalline

evening shadows

Water streams over my feet at the bay
My tears can't seem to dry even in the brightest day
Letting go feels so light yet the consequences light up my doubts
As they burn they cover my sight, watching it all fly by
The past is something I dream to forget
But like evening shadows at the lightest sunset
They haunt my mind, neverending thoughts, eating me away at the seems

would you want who I am?

You know ripped sheets comfort the most
And worn out shoes take you farthest
I'm a tired soul with a hopeful vision
I always think I need permission to be
If I showed you all of me with everything I've hidden
Would you want me, truly in this earthly hell
Would you leave me any second? Am I joke waiting to be unraveled by your words?

Don't you think we have something to lose
Like if the rain didn't pour anymore wouldn't you miss the blues
And if the sun didn't shine wouldn't you miss the warmth
If we part ways I'll miss you evermore
I'll stay by the shore, I'll knock on your door
Even when you long left home
And I'll be the first to know
You're better off alone
Than with someone who isn't sure

my sweet Orion

my tired eyes haven't shined in years
my friends they all left me maybe I'm to blame
stares down the halls and they're all for me
words behind my back all pointed to me

how have you been? I need to know
you don't have it easier do you
it's all the same ways, same blood boiling the same veins
tied to a bed all you feel is pain
what must life be like without words
proud of you for pushing through
I say, holding your hand, this pain will end someday

how's it to get your heart broken all over
the time is never right you're never the chosen
but lights will shine at the end of this crumbling tunnel
with music in a white dress, I'll be next you

looking up I see no stars tonight
just the orion, 3 little stars for our three lives
every day wishing we could join the moon just for once
but I'm stuck here staring at you, my sweet orion

snowfall

Will you be here by next snowfall
Cover me in the dark, mend my scars
Keep me warm in the cold, show me where I need to go
Hold my hand when I'm the one to let go
Will you be here, are you here anymore

Reach out for love and warmth
Found I've got no one to hold
In my heart deeply sunken stories untold
Lavender fields with greens and thorns
Pricked my finger with the truth
There's so much that I could do

Wish I could be next to a warm soul
Whose smile heals wounds and scares
The cold won't scare me not for long

Tired of watching the snow fall
I wanna go outside with you on my side
Love ghost all around us drowning us in feelings
It feels so good to stop breathing, even for just a minute
Will you come with me, will you join me?

angel eyes

In the end, I can't deny.
It's you I like, the world stops.
Try as I might when I look in those angel eyes
They wrap me up like warmth in the cold
Surrounded by the magic it holds.

With a touch of gold, a new world
I hear my thoughts crushed and they burn
The heat warming our graces and I can't help but feel
Tied to you

i wish to know

I wish to know
Why the wind blows colder when I step outside,
I wish to know
Why I feel people could pierce me with their eyes
As a little child
I don't know what to say when I feel it
But I wish to know

My steps all alone they hold no weight
And the memories pass by without ever holding me
As I go to a place where I don't wanna be all over again
How can I hold on another day?

I wish to know
Why your words hurt me like nobody else's
I wish to know
What went wrong for you to say that to me
As a little child
I haven't learned how not to cry when I feel it
But I wish to know

The black sheep opens the door for you to enter
My hands shake and sweat as I close it behind me
As I sit down next to someone I feel wouldn't look at me like I do at them
How can I hold another day?

But I want to know
Why I felt that way and why it happened that way and-
I want to know
How to go back rush in and hold myself close and say
"It's okay, but this ain't gonna change."
You need to learn how to-
Pitch black greets me all over again like the only friend I can afford to miss.

I wish to know
Why you look at me like you wish I were dead
I wish to know
Why you always leave me so disappointed
I wish to know
Is it because of you I feel the way I do?
Will anyone ever want to know me like this?
I wish to know, so tell me.
I wish to know.
