Existence is shimmering through
A litany of souls,
Ever-bustling and occupied.
The greys blur and blend,
Drowning in an ocean
Without saturation or warmth.
Colors wilt as the petals of a rose,
Perception compromised
Under the spell of deep grief.
Frost creeping up the frame
Like icy fingers
To announce impending frostbite.
And in the vast expanse
Of ever growing darkness
There is a glimmer of life
A sign of hope
Dig
Climb
Run
Jump
Do anything you can to feed that hope
By any means possible
Escape that place

When the sky is dark and gleaming
Sprinkled with brilliant stars
I find my mind drifting
Wondering where you are

Gentle breeze of floral scent
Like a portal to a dream of a dream
Tangled up within ourselves
Pondering the reality of what we see

If nothing's real, why does it hurt
Did your soul drift too far
Just one more talk, one more kiss
Why does mortality have to be so hard

I will always be yours, I will never forget
I hold you forever in my heart
I live on for you, doing what you wanted me to
But when will the healing truly start
