 May 2014 Hope Youngblood
harvey
people leave all the time
and all the time i find myself alone
and all the time im begging them to stay
but they come and go
and they do it
all
the
time
Barely lit
Is where I sit
It's cold and dark
On these streets
Moonlit
I'll mark the way
On your midnight trip

Will I be condemned
To never move a muscle?
Tired, ceaseless streets
And the every-mans struggle

Sad morose limbs
Will always rustle
The light can shine
But never for
Maledicted shadows

Heavy complacent steps
Fall around my seat
Only to coppulate
Your hopes are Within reach

I've guided those before you
Yet phleygas is not my name
Pray the next beacon before you
In hopeful orderly disdain
Will grant you more than my name

Torch in hand held high
For years and elements corrode
I will still be here next time
When you need to find your way home
i’m not afraid of what might future holds for me, i’m  more terrified of what i’m going to lose because of me.
You used to write about me,
Do you remember?
You compared my skin to satin
My voice to sirens,
My touch to heaven.
You must've thrown them all away
They're gone from your records.
Now you have a new muse.
And her skin is satin,
Her voice, of a siren,
Her touch is heaven.
