spring break

by Matthias L. - Capricorn

How can it be so dark 
that it doesn't matter 
if you're running blind

How can there be no light
When a heart's already set
Knows what it must find

Nurse or mother
Partner in crime
You know too much of me
Words alone can tell that

So kind that I am child again
Feeling tears for memories
Sadness for the butterflies
That just for the innocent
Were willing to be caught
A salute to all the happiness
That for me was naught

Pulling oh so gentle
I try to please them all
A face unseen
A voice unheard

Spreading wings that aren't my own
I put a dead life in your hands
Worth so little, worth so much
Shows that I can't fly

Denying all I held before
I can't face what I have done
Shut out all perception
In the dark land I am safe

Yet you force some words
into the flow of time
Words right from a movie script

That sometimes pose a threat
Sometimes prove advice
And sometimes do resound

Feeding tears with memories
And teaching me 
To cry again

Reason for writing:

    you know why... though I don't know if I'll be able to keep up the pace...
