The Night You Broke Down in Rage and Cried

listen, there is only you. no one else can hold up to. brightly blue, your eyes glisten like broken glass in this dark room.

i hear you spilling over onto the floor. you say you’re not good enough, and i only want you more.

all your pain and all your joy, don’t ever close the door.

let it flow like oceans through the eye of a pin.

let yourself be believed in let yourself be diluted in the sea.

you shine forever in the depths, your bright light hazy but beautiful, like stained glass beyond a wall of static.

i’ve seen you smiling in the summer sun i’ve seen you shining at times like that, like a harvest moon i’ve seen you so beautiful, and i know what you’re capable of even if you don’t.

so much sadness, so much love. let it flow.

let it flow.
