A Rogue

Beauty and strength
Unique to me
A kindness and compassion far beyond the many

Why do you still not touch me?
My poisonous skin

Who was I? What was I? What was I supposed to be doing in this life? Was I waiting for something—someone? What was I to do for an eternity alone? The threat of that darkness over hung my every moment, and with each passing year it was getting da...

Far From the Blue Sky of the Sun

He wants to scream and cry and hit Until he can feel what he has lost, Finally touch that memory that is just beyond his reach It’s been that way since you went away Stars disappear From the corner of your eyes To the places where you’re from And to all the places you said you’d go But don’t dare She wishes she could scream and shout and cry Knowing what she gave away, threw away But she doesn’t think back to yesterday, puts it just out of reach It’s been that way since she walked away Stars disappear From the corner of your eyes To the places where you’re from And to all the places you said you’d go But don’t dare Fast forward through the days You do what you need to, want to Holding onto dreams of me to make it through It’s been that way since you woke up today
