Have you ever looked at the sky?
Have you ever asked why?
Can you remember the last time
                 You cried?
People come and go
You need to know
It’s for a reason
Whenever I feel sad
              I thank the sky
Have you ever asked why?
Up above an abundance of love
              It grows and grows
Where ever you decide to go
Can you remember the last time
              You cried?
Did you ever wonder why?
You need to know
    Where ever you go
Up above there is love
Have you ever looked at the sky?
Can you remember why?

breathe in
the ice cold waters fill my chest
as delicate strings strum in my head

"careful, you'll crack your head open"

careless, my thoughts come pouring out

jump in
unwind and relax
droplets ebb and flow
with a mind of its own

reach out
extend a helping hand
these shallow waters
soak my shoes

laugh
unstrained and wet with tears
living in a daydream
has never felt this real.

drip
a ringing in my ears
as water fills them
like a kiss from a gentle ghost

sway
parting between my skin
hazing through like gentle winds
passing by without a sound

kiss
soft and delicate
like a petal's touch
against my lips

cry
a final goodbye.

skin made of fire
organs made of flame
each strand of hair a wisp of smoke

living in a forest
one touch can blow it all away
but there's nothing like
free oxygen.
