Purple Lightning
Glide to the center
In your ghostly form
I could walk right through you
Like a wraith
It was a deeper shade
Than all the purples, all the purples before
They snuck in the edges
Of my vision
Like the sun
Setting into dark
They filled the abyss
With their chaos and color
If I was the lightning
Reflected in your eyes
I would be content
For I would always be with you
You crackle with electricity
But everywhere on this earth I touch
Turns to fire and ash
I dare not make you shine
For if I did
The world would burn
Into ashes and memories
And the tallest trees would crumble
You don't have a clue
How storms are made
Like your temper
They rise and fall
And like your dreams
They fade
Into a distant memory
A cold past
Every time I hear it
My spine shudders in recognition
My shoulders tighten like a rope
And I spark
Down the wires
I dance so merrily
Into your home, and heart
Through the walls I course
Nothing, but trouble and beauty
Like ice and salt I burn
When crushed in your hand.
A challenge.
You provoked me
Into the night and its darkness
I will return
In tenfold of clouds
And rain down
Until I reign!
You pull the reigns
And my tears rain
Like a bit in my mouth
These words are so sharp
I spit them out
And they foam
Like a rabid monster
I bit your heart
I wormed inside
And found my own way out
The small of my back
Damp with the sweat of my fear
The whole world
Thinking I am a star
I shine brighter
But not for you
Like a diamond on your hand
That you can't hold
But I found my courage at the bottom:
The bottom of the glass
The bottoms of the chasm
The bottom of your heart
I walked many halls
And the keys of your piano-forte
And then I fell
Like a crescendo
Black and white
I saw stars
Blue and purple
Around my eyes
They serve as a reminder
On my wrist
In your letters.
And every day
We don't forget
We just don't remember
Less and less
Until it's gone
When it's wrong its allowed
But we wouldn't say it out loud
So loud I couldn't hear
Until I got it out
We try to make it right
Wouldn't take what's left
Scared of what's behind
And the future much to near
So comfortable with the chaos
We hate it, until it's lost
I wanted so hard to find it
When that time came, you had changed
Your tentacles reach
And sting my skin
The lightning bites back
But it's to cold
Cold in my head
I can't shake out
Like a snow globe
With a pounding melody
I'm the wild one
With the blue eyes
With the knife
And the disguise
A mask of emotions
Ripped away
And the anger crackles forth
And wraps the earth in fingers of light
Go to sleep
With a solid belief
That love doesn't exist.
Awakened to a reality,
Where it was here
But it is destroyed
I know I had it
Now it's gone
It left it's mark
Like a hammer in my heart
And it got stuck
It wouldn't get out
I bite into the truth
And the regret trickles down my throat
The taste to bitter
To swallow
I checked
Every three minutes
For a new way to survive
But my patience wore thin
If you had a heart attack
I could jump you back to life
Rub my hands together
And dissipate the fates
But I do not think the fates
Would meddle with something as black as your heart
Like chalk on a white wall
You drew me in
And spit me out
Like you had swallowed fire
But I was already in your veins
Racing for your heart
