Flirting w/a monster Speaking words so sinister Amber eyes gleaming Until I wail screaming Finger painting in condiments

Danger stalks far & wide Questions linger in the air Waiting at the curb to catch a rid… Staring at the car lights Ready to set off a flare

The cold wind blows Enveloping my fears Standing at the precipice Between life & death Vapors transfigure

Smiling while letting go Everything black has turned to sno… Digging to unearth buried feelings Searching for love everlasting In this world unabashedly

Twenty five Afraid to live Afraid to tempt fate To want what others have– How sinful of me

In a desert land Reaching out my hand To an unknown love Carried by the wind Caught in a whirlwind

Fighting in shades of gray Mouthing words I cannot say Before the battle ends Night descends Falling upon hearts betrayed

Stargazing from within Acknowledging the end I gave myself away To allow what may Standing in my way

Glowing from the inside out Trying to figure out What life’s about Running out of time Looking to find

Crazy like the weather You blow me away like a feather Trying to convey my soul spark Laughing at me in winters stark Picking me apart

Honey water Glistening on your skin Eyes of silver Shining from within Smiling sweet

Sifting through pieces of me Left broken and forgotten Trying to find a piece of me I’ve… Looking for my spark Now dying embers
