Back to square one
Are we really done
Is it time or distance
Or your willful resistance
There's been too many separations and segregations
Epiphanies and revelations
Sometimes I feel like I'm still 15
Just a kid who is lost in the abyss of too many thoughts and projected emotions
Over analyzing the happy times
Searching for signs they were only lies
Does that make me a delusional pessimist
Or am I finally awake to reality
Maybe I'm out of balance
The Bird told me I was once
The Bird told me I was tilted and tipping with seams over stuffed and ripping
The Bird flew away and I have no idea what they would say if they saw me today
And Two hasn't looked me in the eye since I changed my name
I don't know why
Maybe I left a bottle uncorked and everything that couldn't be put back left a stain
I'll never know if Two never shows
I keep sending invitations that return to sender
I want to keep trying but I've never been a mender
And Purple told me they go by Pink now
So I left because I realized all along they've really been Blue
Purple was never a color I knew
That's something I can no longer wish into truth
And all the Flowers bloom somewhere else
So I'm left alone in a dead garden
Mostly by myself
The first square
I have Freckles now
When I look at the Sun
Some of them are little
Usually they're fun
I have Freckles now
New ones than before
And when I try to smile
I have Freckles to twinkle with my eyes
And if I forget to think
And mange a wink
I feel invincible
I am showered in Freckles
I wish
I wish
I wish
I wish
I wish on a Star
To take pity on me
A sea of Freckles Stars and Sand
And sometimes I can't tell which I'm buried in
