The worlds tears have fallen from cold, distant clouds
that slowly begin to recede
Allowing the tempting sun to mingle with the occasional
showers
Off in the distance, you can see her
Emerging through whites, greys, and the invading soft blue
She stands out, shows color in a shaded place
... is unique
No end
No beginning
A mystery to those lacking the ability to intertwine
logic and imagination
Her layers rest calmly against one another
each with her own perspective
its own personality
Never afraid to show her real colors
Refuses to let opposite emotions empower the other
able to find the beauty in both
If you're lucky
you'll discover all the riches she offers
A task that has to be completed

New realizations pour from my fingertips
Finally awake from a sleeping perception
that clouded my view of something
dark and cold
Shivers were mistaken for thrills
Love for lust
Life was death
Minutes passed as seconds
yet time had paused
It's all an image
One I somehow lost my way into
became a part of
To think I praise myself for lack of ignorance
when all along I was the one in bliss

So this is it
the end of the beginning
Looking back
in order to decipher the future
Given nothing but hours spent
doing tedious tasks at a desk
in a decorated prison
in order to prepare
for hours spent
doing tedious tasks
in a cubicle
This is America
land of opportunity
May I please take you're order?

She's melting into nothingness
building a thick wall that seperates her
from pain and sorrow
No one can see in
understand why
They barely even notice
Inscripted onto the imaginary walls
that form her sanctuary
are words...
If I never love, I'll never hurt
If I'm never happy, I'll never be sad
If I never let them in, I'll never be let down
Her guise rises each morning with the sun
escapes only when sleep allows it to
Sleepless nights cause nothing but confusion
and conflict
Two minds, two personalities
one person
Nothingness
She slowly escapes
melts
