Garrett Richardson

A windstorm dropped a bird from the sky
It fell to the ground
Its dreams broke and died
But as time passed by
...

Like when you undo a button from its hole
My bitter torment drew my body from my soul
And now left alone, torn apart
I am reaching out
...

For all the fears inside my head
For all the times I've craved the end
For all the pain in my soul
For all the time wasted inside myself
...

Drawing meaning from the unexpected
A sign that cannot be denied
A portrait of our everlasting expression
And the small distance between us, side by side
...

My dependency on your resplendency
Has brought my once thought fiction
Into reality
Crowning you as my new addiction
...

In this frozen moment in time
Your beauty is all mine
I lean forward seeking your bliss
Our desires ignite
...

Nothing has changed
Moderate suffering
Replaced by pain
Reflected by this mirror
...

Again, I see this light shimmering
It's so far away
I only wish that I can make it there
Maybe someday
...

A slight call from afar is tempting me
Like a whisper so sweet
Followed by an awful scream
I cannot ignore what I've always been
...

Taking all and giving
Whatever my pride will let me
I walk alone
But with my head held high
...
