As I pick a buttercup
I place it beneath my chin
yellow becomes part of me
as happiness seeps in

I think of those times lying on the green
staring at clouds above
memories pass like raindrops fall
was this the awakening of love?

back then all I knew was the colour black
it still sits with me to this day
blinded by arrows enriched with pain
will the rainbow ever sway?

facetious worlds torment my soul
unelected pawns of doom
surrendering to 3D lies
circumvented within my gloom

yet, life has blessed me with insight
I do not play it's wicked game
I walk alone along my sacred path
exonerated from self blame

I know another; she is by my side
another tortured yet independent soul
my love for her will never die
for we share the same end goal
