Iris
"even when we are made to be broken
I still want you to know who I am"
-
standing here in the shadows
I’m peering through my sorrows
the girl who has conquered my whole
doesn’t seem to understand me at all
-
I watch her fly higher than I can
soaring through the autumn rain
she loves to watch the clouds go by
consciously slowly leaving me behind
-
sometimes I see her in the deadly darkness
I see her crying out her tears
but like all visions will come to pass
and all that’s left is my world collapsed
-
an iris across the darkened sky
majestic colours invisible in the night
no hearts will fall on my yearning lullaby
as loneliness swallows this forlorn sunrise
-
"even when we are made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am"
