These happy thoughts fill me
Like colourful balloons, the simple moments
Are all we need, and sunlight swings my feet
Stars are like trinkets
You collect them and they fall away
Tumble towards the earth,
A sulfurous lake,
Suspended diamonds come to play,
Holding up the sky
Like soaked velvet,
These knees ache
With dirt and blood-sweat,
As tears and dry cries
Pour and fill a cloudy ocean,
That kisses the horizon
A heart wrenching devotion––
Only to spill off the end of the world
Maybe my heart will build walls,
To keep the memories from tipping
I am lonely
Never alone, surrounded by colour
But clinging to the dull roar
One day the sun will come
Trying and trying and trying
My body feeding these lies with
Gnashing teeth, aching gums––
Crying and crying and crying
Tumble off the bed,
Toss yourself into the sky
Be unmerciful
Until the mind is sick with the lie
Why do I torture myself?
Why does my mind giggle
When I breakdown and die?
Like some shrivelled flower,
Like some starved cherub,
Like some dull, useless knife
I pray I never find.
