See You in the Lavender

by J James - Pisces

I'm on the brink of
emotional extinction from 
tumultuous contradiction
of feeling too much
borderline madness dissolved me
while my indigo shades of sadness
consumed me into a 
lavender void absent of mercy
so I wore your love like heaven
and hid amongst the angels
who befriended me for the novelty
of my tainted wings
that harbored foolish things
like the inescapable need
to believe the lies you feed
to hurt when you bleed
to be the one you need
when there's no one to hold
even when my wings acted as
decoration for the old
there's no denying my adoration
simply accepting the complication
of the lack of reciprocation
so where do I go from here?
I'm surrounded by the tears 
I borrowed from a wishing well 
all the time wishing you'd tell me 
you felt too much for me too
where your happiness made 
the lavender absent of blue
can I have the happy shade of you?
I'd be crazy not to ask…
