The sounds you make
When walking away
Make a continuous echo
Against these four empty walls

Swing with me
Until the world swirls

And colors of the sky begin to blend
Be patient

For the sun will set


And your secrets will be safe

Under the moon


We will make promises
To stay together

Through all things that make up forever

I have never understood why it is the flowers bloomed
Or why the fish decided to live in the sea

And how is it you continued?

I have never understood why it is the moon shined so brightly
Or why the grass never grew green

And how is it you decided?

I have never understood why it is my voice never carried through the walls of pearl
Or why the stars flew across the never ending sky

And how is it you stayed?

I have never understood why it is I dreamed quixotic dreams
Or why my heart never stopped breaking

And how is it you continued to hope?

I have never understood why life has dealt me these hands
Or why I could not deal myself back in

I have never realized you were the sun
Or that I was the rays

How is it you have nott fallen?

I took a pickaxe to my heart
and chipped away the poison
clogging my arteries and
slowing my pulse to a whisper;
after years of build up
I finally curbed the beast within
but things were too good to be true.

Now my pulse beats a different tune
to what I've grown so used to
and I no longer crave the poison
that built walls around my heart
leaving me helplessly trying
to figure out what I want
and who I am
without the monster who controlled me
