Bri Lynne

The rain pulls at my insides
Pulls the salt from my eyes
Reminding me of the gloom
Hiding just beyond the sunny skies
...

What could move this heavy tide
That was born with us
Bond together with it's sticky lies
Remnants strewn across the bedroom floor
...

He called me up,
Ripe, dancing into the lights
His shield falling between his knees
Bleeding from underneath
...

It wasn't love at first sight
But at first flight
Taken by the sight
Sparkling green like the trees
...

I remember how he choked out
I remember how she yelled
Could I forget the before times
Should I just forgive
...

In the right corner sits the rebel
Blowing doughnuts with smoke
Slitted red eyes
Searching for a high that doesn't recognize
...

The tallest ships will always catch the eyes
The smallest men will always sail
Around the World for months on-end
To reach the lasting relm
...

A gripping realization tugged at my gut
I'd never seen darkness
Before today
I had never felt a splinter of pain
...

They said I'd be stuck
Stuck nowhere, forever
They said worse
Forgotten curses
...

There is a hidden cave where we can drink
From truthful waters
Beyond our human minds
An Elixir to eternal peace
...

In waiting
We figit restlessly
Senses ripen in anxiety
We forget where we are
...

Broken in the eye of the beholder
Tempted in the eyes of the weak
Stealing my glory
Losing my will to speak
...

In a trance
Scared
Just to mention it
It’s hard not to
...

Playing ball at two feet tall
Laughing wildly, not getting it
As he pats my head in momentary adoration
Stumbles to throw again
...

I'm torn painfully in half
Between here and way over there
Between two opposing loves
Barely able to balance on these bloody feet
...

Our time together
In desperate dispositions
In tragic goodbye kisses
In harmonious happiness
...

It's the bloody end
Finally it can all come undone
Tales of tall, luck stretched further
Squished smaller than you'd think
...

Tomorrow has become the Sun
I've planned a fall
Angels would grimace after
Sometimes you must just follow
...

Up is just an idea
Once you're so high
That down is all there is
With each withered stair
...

You might think things are lookin up
Smile as you gently glide through
Forgetting the point
But a peak this frigid
...
