glitter

Wait please, just give me one second amongst the trees
If I could process me leaving
I would be able to breathe
Lately your eyes have looked like clementines
And I'm honestly dreaming
Among lavender and crystal skies
It's not hard to call me back in the morning
No it's not hard to get the smell off of your skin
I wouldn't do you like that even if I was broken
But it's not your fault you were empty and depressed to start with
I saw a new vision emerge from my desires
A canvas of magic
A glittering mosaic of loving eyes
I could try to rearrange the blueprint of my life
Build a road much less travelled
Go bigger places in shorter time
It's not hard to call me back in the morning
No it's not hard to get the smell off of your skin
But draining my body of every muscle
You're pulling me down and you're pulling me under
I'll come to myself in a dream as an angel
Open up my chest to the sky and watch the light as it bleeds inward
I'll sew myself back up and send her back to the waking realm
Softened but not weakened
Lightened but not non-grounded
Ready for the lessons I'll learn within the playground
I'll open my eyes when I am meant to
