Not even in the darkness
can there be shadow
Not even in the light
can you hide
from the things that seek you
keep you through the day
holding to your skin
well into the night

Its always at an impasse
the important questions start asking themselves
you can float along a hundred
thousand
different directions and never face a hard decision
some people are born
dodging every bit of bad luck
but better than that
they are a light
anyone can be seen reflecting off of them
giving whats given

Like a kiss from the earth,
autumn breezes came sweeping across your face
a wisp of a memory taunts you briefly.
it's in the way she held my hand
its how she looked and smiled
but she never said.
what was there to say?
I'd had an hours worth of your company
and it brought down
every
single
wall
I had been reinforcing these past months,
you didn't know better.
and I didn't know how to say it.

When you faded back
into that grey area just beyond my view
I wanted nothing but to see you
when you're young, you're dumb
I know that's what you'd tell me
If you even pretended I existed
a perfect monochrome
is all I can make out

An ocean between us
but how can you see this?
our roots are torn up like trees in a storm
I sit on the shoreline everyday
til the sun it sets
looking for
breaks in the waves and the clouds

but if I could make it to you
you'd be the last thing on my mind
my head would be filled with
the thoughts of saying goodbye
cause every sun has to set
and everyone leaves eventually
but my heart wont forget
what you meant, or what you mean

An ocean between us
and now you can see
how the wind it has blown
us farther apart
but some days are brighter
with blue in the skies
forgetting were sitting
on different shores

Unlike what I was
I am a thing of understanding
changing into this shape
and many others before
only to look back
       and laugh
everything is temporary
outside of yourself
