Change


Skies lie down in patches of blue

while the clouds keep us wishing too

 

A piebald façade is the perfect disguise

to cover up all these denim faded lies

 

Sunshine fades into a subtle dose of gray

still rattling change questions cobalt to stay

 

Tears of betrayal pouring into a content mind

my belligerent hope is lost every single time

 

Darkness comes to trample over this heart

ripping my daydreams of a lost sea apart

 

Closer and closer the dark train rolls

deeper and deeper we lose our souls

 

Faster and faster around the bend

sooner and sooner I'll love again
