Excuse the mess,
I didn’t see you from behind
I caught a glimpse,
But the reflection’s only mine
It’s almost like I’m paralyzed and locked
Outside myself
What I don’t need is to concede because
I won’t be someone else
I am not perfect and I don’t claim to be.
Just…
Lost in dreams,
Like crystal memories,
Shimmering in silence
Yet,
only in dreams
Are there,
Forbidden bursts of blue
Waltzing through echoes.
Though dreams can be deceiving
Like faces are to hearts
They serve for sweet relieving
When fantasy and reality lie too far apart
Almost like layered consciousness
Frozen between syllables,
Spoken in vain,
Wilted into deception.
It’s seems as though
The crystalline sunrise,
Framed confusion
And what once was,
Is now…
Tainted remnants of yesterday.

"Better Version" - by: Shinedown, wilted into deception,
tainted remnants of yesterday, crystalline sunrise, forbidden bursts of blue, waltzing through echoes, framed confusion, layered consciousness, frozen between syllables, shimmering in silence, like crystal memories, lost in dreams, spoken in vain, only in dreams, "Slow Like Honey" by: Fiona Apple
