Momentary weakness of the sun
Poured out fire
Into the eyes
Of a backup resort
You've been escourted
To the ending world
Have you packed up your thoughts?
Put them in cardboard boxes
And taped them to the inside
Of your head
I'm floating on memories
On a sea of forgetfullness
It must have been something I missed
Surely I missed it...
Because laughing in the spotlight
Was the best I could get
You were somewhere
Obviously, not there
A darting shadow in my perphial vision
~Blurred~
Into a thousand picture frames
I'd must have misplaced
The secret was
I never knew what you would trade
Solitude; spades?
You would find me dancing in a maze
And you would cry
And I would laugh
An embedded secret in the grass
It wasn't my intension
Clipped wings in a cage
Bullets weren't pressured
Instead they fell
Reunited ignition
To the ground
That's how we spun around
To find ourselves Actors with velvet lines
A purr in the midst of the mind
Speaking sentences
Under our pillows
When did dreams become more real than lies?
Cut the inside of your beliefs
"Alone?"
"So it seems."
Damaged by key holes
& expectations
But that still doesn't make it
An inventation
Author notes
I wrote this last night somewhere around 4...AM. I think I've got insomnia, i'm not sure. lol. Anyhow, I was trying to think of the song as I was writing, so I hope it turned out okay It pretty much all comes down to being alone, thinking about the past, missing it, but then at the end it has a little twist. Velvet Fire because...Usually fire is damaging obviously, but we all have the sensation to touch it any way...And the burning is our sacrifice.
DDDDDDDDDDDDD WELL I tried my darnest.

Fascinating concepts within these lines. I love how it makes you stop and think, and certainly presents the emotion.
I often wonder how things get by so quickly...
"Alone?"
"So it seems."
Damaged by keyholes
and expectations
Yes, I'm afraid so...damaged...there is definitely an aire of sadness, loneliness, and missing in these words, and it is a wonderful read, as it is intelligent and though provoking...
Thank you for entering and best of luck!
