try to explain
getting nowhere
all this journey
just to get to nowhere

i see you hiding
not even sad anymore
silly emotion scabbed over
healing is a process for...

...something barely understood
that time is not your enemy
she is your friend
keeps you safe when you're scared


she smiles in her own slight way
as she casts down her smile
she will make those who have sought
to destroy you find her true ways
about being angry but keeping your cool

Christmas lights at night
are cold
they are freezing
mesmerizing
you are looking at nothing
you are looking at something

comfortable, opening
sad, quiet
they shine on
illuminating the mirror
you are looking at nothing
you are looking at something

every
particle of dirt
must be destroyed

there is a battleship
in the spaceship
of your heart

it will destroy
even the dust who
dares stray to your parts
Elijah Almond May 2014
do unto me what has been done to you

fear is no longer king
we are breaking
we are smiling with blood in our teeth
we are the truth of fairy tales

watch both our destruction
across a river
just wave
don't worry, you need not move

it will swim to you
Elijah Almond May 2014
dancing like a stalking butler
dancing like your future grave

the hole is just waiting
the hole is playing your tune

the wind blows you there
though you seem not sadly

yet, he is not brave
the soft breeze just waits

your mistakes are coming
they'll meet you gladly
unfortunately...about my brother

maybe hiding in a bush
maybe in another's hand
there is no answer
until you feel what's left inside
in your hand

do you want to see though ?
if what you have protected
loved
kissed
is where you left it?

here
on the edge of sea
there lives a dragonfly

steel boots
can kick in doors
the dragon just flies

here
at the edge of time
we drown in our sweat

well, he
he just flies away
finds a butterfly

finds a way to bite
