Blue (with crimsin)

you saw my crooked halo
and smiled within yourself
a misfit angel on her way to nowhere fast
your sideways smile said it all
I took you in with big soulful eyes
contemplative in my stare
I asked you where you were headed
and could I journey alongside you

at ease from the pressures of the world
transfixed in a devious dance
dazed in a lackadaisical haze
where days and nights seem so seamless
as the blurring lines between us

in your blue times, your quiet storm overtakes me
stirring the restless spirits within my soul
and I think I could love you
but I come closer and you pull back
you move in and I step away
in eternal dance, we ebb and sway
it's in our loneliness we are one
I exhale yesterday’s regrets
and tomorrow’s fear

a soul soldier, you show no mercy
chasing our demons back
to the safety of our shell
fervent, but riddled with fear
by clear visions of hell
with a firm grip and a heavy hand
you take hold of our destiny
and in your arms, I am safe
a perfect shelter for me
in this hollow place
