sometimes I try to force the pieces to fit
but all I do is shift the tide
and the moon weeps
at my feet
it isn’t over
if your heart is still in it
I need a new heart
one that sees me
beats for me
maybe you too
but that depends
can you see in the dark?
I am flames burning the forest
I am the forest, too
breathing with charred skin
and begging people to stop cutting me down
I’ll hurt you
(I hurt me too)
and soothe us with rose petals
and the moonlight
that drips from my lips
creation and destruction
the game we all play
I am not playing
I am the one moving mountains
ending sunsets
setting alight the ills
I am the one
tripping over grains of sand
and choking on broken glass
dripping from my eyes
I am lost
even though I know
who I truly am
where I belong
who’s name is on my heart
I am lost
in a pool of ink
drowning on your absence
and the demons
kneeling at my door
they’re singing
to the darkness in me
I need a love affair
with my own soul
but there’s more
more that I need
sometimes I try to force the pieces to fit
but all I do is shift the tide
and the moon weeps
at my feet
