Untitled
My life, a series of continuous experiences, continuously interrupted
By some moments that taste like honey, others leaving me blue
A particular hue, one that tastes like the sky before it darkens
Sometimes I feel like I cannot choose. I guess I am torn
I try to swallow the sea, leave it empty
Unsure which move is true or right
I just want to love you right
These intentions are always interrupted
So many disappointments make this world seem empty
We've seen our bright heat fade to blue
I've seen you doubting, torn
You've seen my shine darken
We have lit new fires, waiting for the day to darken
Sometimes we've gotten it right
Patched together our hearts, previously, terribly torn
Gone forward as if never interrupted
Kissed away the blue
Proven our love to be an endless well, never empty
My life used to feel hopelessly empty
A sunny day would inevitably darken
I'll always lean towards blue
It's okay, even right
For joy to be interrupted
Pages and emotions torn
Remember the past lives from which we were torn?
Did you feel those days were empty?
My despair found hope when they were interrupted
Maybe your safe silence caused that little light to darken
You cannot stop feelings, whether or not they are right
Back then you hadn't really seen my shades of blue
You were born and the sky turned blue
I am convinced the decision to release you left heaven torn
To do so was only right
I imagine the place feels a little empty
But it's light on you will never darken
Never again will my smile for you get interrupted
I will always carry this torch burning blue,fill notebooks to fight the empty
Some pages are love letters to you, torn, some pages I chose to darken
I will always love you right, if you promise yours will never again be interrupted
If you read the whole thing, thanks! That was long. I wouldn't have posted this if it weren't for asking for community involvement in the process. I like parts of it, but it's not as good as I'd like. It definitely was a challenge though! (Gif by giphy.com)
