Unfold
Poetry of pain
Why must I be strong, Why must I never dwell, Didn’t you think the road was just too long I’m so unwell.
Before the Summer skies, You know I lost all kinds of worth.
So I don’t belong in heaven or brush misery from the earth.
My heart cannot find help, Your sunny smile wont stay in place, Now the future is deeply hollow, A path of loneliness through pain.
Why must I sway and see myself, At the mercy of one soul.
That drifted in and swirled around, All the grieving is my own.
As I’ve simply been forgotten, So easily left in doubt, I wonder if you’re still alive, If the broken make it out.
You seemed like you were here for me, Your life softening the air.
But I misread lovers’ language, How my desperation stretched.
Through elegant tall grass, flowing grief, Dark shadows, mean and cold, And in all the colorful flowers you see, I am one that wont unfold.
Dying, from no water here.
Leaning, from no love.
