I can live and laugh forever just by picturing us together.
Lies from a dark past are purged to dust and lifeless matter.

A calming fever rushes through my body.
Cleansed from illness, addiction, but alas recovering hardly.

I reach for the stars but touch the dirt,
my whole life has been upside down.
I teach my heart how much it hurts,
my whole body screams with lack of sound.

I feel the winds without the breeze.
I breath the oxygen without the trees.
I sense your touch without your presence.
I fake my laugh and delete...

Barely illegal.
Hardly see-through.
Nowhere to hide when the winds come take you.

Merely a feather towards my weight.
A weight gained for all the hate-filled pride i ate.

Abused beyond words i’m comfortable to use.
None powerful enough to sum up the dysfunctions i fused.

This road to happiness seems never ending.
Which is fine.
This road has turns worth bending.

Have me.
Have faith in me.
Appear translucent and fade for me.

Hold me.
Hold grudge for me.
Erase my clouded filth and touch me.

The time for hopes and wishes has passed.
The meaning of those are alien at best.

I like to see my future bright.
But darkness has consumed my light.

Let me guide you away from pain.
Cover my prints and follow the rain.

I remember the times i would like to forget.
I look back with regret while my palms start to sweat.

Innocence isn’t embraced but rather looked back at when lost.
My innocence was taken, hate given in return for free at my cost.

Brittle.
Even now while i’ve grown.
Still little.
