I keep tripping over invisible vines
I can only tell what is now mine
Never what is gone
Never what is forgotten.
Weight added upon my heart
It hurts, the ruby rain shrouded with salt.
It stings, the emerald under my stance
The burn from the sky's eternal glance
Why did the angel just fall
Why did the demon answer my call?
What is the darkness across my face
Who is the young soul caged in my place?
I try to hold back onto these seams
My mind still grips onto my awakening dreams
I tell myself this is not confusion
I say it is only just an eerie delusion.
Now someone tell me
That this isn't all reality
As purity cuts drop, as a song bleeds
Onto the soft fantasy of my diary.
