In my mind


The colors within your gaze slay my yearning soul Crawl into the crevices between my agony and desire Inspire hope. Love. Fear Have I created you in my mind? Surely nothing so divine is tangible Sweep me away to the insanity of believing the impossible Foxtrot through the fire of all that is beautiful All that will repair my soul And surely destroy it once more Gladly I rip the beating heart from my hollow chest Humbly, on bended knee Bow my head and offer my entirety Where am I? This place can't exist I've created you in my mind Surely Oh this madness is like leaves falling from the highest branch Gently floating to the cold ground Envelope me as I turn into the colors within your haunting eyes This fall is never ending Weightless Illusion of safety as I fall to my death Sweep me away I can only exist with you And you only exist in my mind Ethereal darkness Cease with me
