This is a poem I turned into a song while at an internship this summer. It is based off being stuck and feeling like you can't get out. It is based off feeling like a shadow in your own step. It is based off the sunshine that lights up the day and is masked by the dark whispers of the moonlight.
I dedicate this to a friend who really touched my heart and inspired me to reach out from a dark hole I was in a while ago and find myself again.
Waiting, always waiting past Summer thorns.
The hair that blows in the wind that smells like yours,
So sweet like honey on a mountain dew morning;
Frost lips cracked with devilish yellow
Seep into your lies as you stare at black coffee.
A shadow, always following, always shadowing the leader;
Of the misguided ghost that once was something yesterday,
And a dull nothing tomorrow.
Strawberry highlights in a Summer rain,
Jumping rope in the cornfield lanes.
Lost in a maze with no discretions,
No secrets in secrets,
No hiddens to be found in empty dug out holes.
June, August, May, July
Passes always slowly like turtles in fear of a riot.
A riot, a storm breaks out and screams echo.
She screams, he screams in unprotected agony
Against a transparent wall–divide and conquer.
Ricocheting off a large black holed cave,
Nowhere, no longer running, never always never.
A sweet escape,
How many 4, 3, 2, 1 years,
Now 4, 3, 2 kisses,
4, 3 sweet, glorious naked ravels of your luscious Adam and Eve,
4 pains of hello dear agony, goodbye everlasting gumdrops.
I don’t even like gumdrops.
