Come one come all
to the biggest light show
in all the world

Keep your coats and hats on
cause no big top can hold
such a spectacle

Be not fooled
though there are no carts
you're in for an inescapable ride

trust me by my tongue
I advise best to keep
your beloveds alongside

Be it night or be it day
watch the sky light up
in shocking ways

None more majestic
so feast your eyes
for not a penny will you pay

'Tis the music of the skies
rumble and sway
just heed this wondrous call

Alas! It's been too long
for now comes rain fall
come one come all

come one come all.

Suddenly, the need to hold and be held surges through me like a familiar electric feel.

The monsters are back again with no forceful intent, only to remind me how this is all too real.

How have I effortlessly allowed you to crawl in and break open a forgotten shrouded seal.

You have unmasked me and now I am vulnerable, I hope you did not come to ****.

This lad right here
Will do anything to make anyone happy
This lad right here
Will make you feel special
This lad right here
Will do it all with good intentions
This lad right here
Will love you like everyone else
Make you feel loved like no one else
Don't fall for this lad right here
He only means well
But he'll break your heart
This lad. This lad.
Will love you like how you feel for him
Won't love you like how you fell for him

I don't know
Where I'm going
But I know
I'll get there soon

Where I lay
My head is home
The undiscovered
World, my room

They hold on to the beauty
of that one withered rose
hanging on the bedpost

While a devoted new blossom
craves for admiration
spreading itself bare on the sheets

In the midst of searching
for myself.
I found you.
And now
I've forgotten
what I was looking for
to begin with.
But I've found myself a purpose.

If you look closely
there's something about today

Cause today youre a little
further then you were yesterday

I worked.
I played.
I learned.
I taught.

I gave.
I took.
I apologized,
Forgave and forgot.

I blinked.
I blinked.
Oh no, I blinked.
Where is my twenty thirteen?

Distract yourself
With making your child happy
With making your car fast
With making the best of all that you have
Cause all you have won’t last

Convince yourself
That it’s not worth the anger
That what goes around comes around
That this world was constructed in every way to break a person down

Rid yourself
Of the pain that she’s inflicting
Of the reminders that you’re no good
Of every little thing she’s doing behind your back that a spouse never should

Remind yourself
How we will all be judge one day
How we will all face the same fate
How we’ll be resurrected from our place of rest to answer to every deed, done and said

I knew you were
Reckless and dangerous
But held soft
In my hands
You were harmless
Putting aside
The occasional stingers
But just like a razor
You started
Cutting deep
As I let you
Slip through my fingers

— The End —
