Poisoned

with a single touch—
the leaves are dead,
and the rain's contaminated.
the rainbow's dark,
and the galaxy cries.

every mistake of mine are gleaming,
though they're at fault while I clean them up.

living in a place where your heart's meant to break anytime and anywhere,
—isn't it hard?

you'd let the tears come,
but then you'd say goodbye to the sun.

you didn't want to make it as an issue,
but then it's something you can't easily solve.

you didn't want to stop loving,
but then you couldn't get yourself connected nor attached to it.

is life paying you happiness—
or is it just hovering above your light for granted?

you're working hard to be true,
but your heart works even harder to lie.

little sounds you're shutting,
I could hear it from afar—
though I'm afraid-
...for it's something I'd never want to hear.

when I go,
I'd lose.
when I stay,
I'd regret.

when there's love,
there's just a habit of hurting—
it's no wonder that I always fall.

hold my star until it glistens,
and grasp my moon until it blinds.

let me speak when a lie lives,
and shut me up when a truth's gone.

I'm afraid I couldn't catch you,
—in the rain.

I'm afraid I couldn't blow you,
—in the winter.

and I'm afraid I couldn't love you,
—in the dark.
