Through the Lens
a halo
in your eyes
it’s hard to say
good
bye
but that’s what
people do
don’t they
they say
i love you, too
and always will
and then they leave
you
where they found you
and you no longer
reach for fortune cookies
‘cause the message’s
never true
and all the dandelions
can keep their hair
from blowing in the wind
and all the candles
on the cake
can keep on burning
down the wick
and all the songs
can keep on singing
drowning on
and on
is it Fall already
no one can tell you
what life is like
only the dead know
what life is really like
at least that’s what they say
from
far
far
away
looking through a clear
unclouded lens
i dreamed last night
or was it
the night before
it was like a painting
in the sky
changing shape
like the clouds
i’m better now
not as angry
anymore
still angry
just not as angry
anymore
looking through the scope
and seeing what no one saw
and i cry for her
‘cause she was golden good
i watch what happened to her
and want to warn her
protect her
but i can’t
so i close my eyes
and go to her
in my time machine
and open the door
and pick her up
and carry her out
and put her
in a better
place in time
where she can
grow up safe
and unafraid
the clouds are on the move
the sun is on the rise
the rain has washed away
what was
a blade of grass
is never cut the same
way
like how a heart
breaks and bleeds
