.......

beautiful things
come from small places
not always seen
but always noticed
i can tell
from the look in your e y e s
that you know
everything you need
to see what there is
in that s p a c e b e t w e e n

the secret of you
is hard to keep
you think that's your cue
to walk out and leave
apologies are like heavy air
lingering in what should
have never been there

it's hard to sleep
with all these dreams
thoughts that transfer
into screams

screams that translate
the way you feel
the way you hurt
almost ideal

it puts pressure
on yourself to blame
things that are there to keep
you sane

and in the end
a glimmer of <<light>>
portrayal of the good life
lullabies in your ear
showing you
that light is near
