the colors are bending
reaching for the sky
like a child looking for a parent
as airplanes soar above
crossing each other
like good and bad memories
judgement is in the clouds
you are reaching
for thoughts from the moon
because it gives the light you never had
and the day
only brings overwhelming sunshine
remembering laughter
and the sorrow that followed
like dominos falling up and down mountains
the only relief comes from the stars
answers hidden in space
maybe that’s why you only talk at night
when the answers are right above
closer than the sun
because the moon doesn’t hide
behind the judgement
of those willing to hurt you
and teach you life isn’t what you thought
so now you’re reaching for the truth
because it isn’t what you thought
and the clouds begin to move
the sun continues to shine
while the stars never lie to you
but the sorrow falls like rain
and the moon holds the light
because now you’re reaching
for the parents you never had
