I'm trying hard to find some hope,
Or at least the chance to breathe,
because everything I see
is messing with my head.
The sun reminds me of all the ways I've been burned;
I wear layers and layers of clothing to cover the angry scars.
The rain reminds me of the way my feet were locked in the wet soil,
While the storm raged around my head.
The road reminds me of all the places I've walked alone;
Every mile I walked in devastating isolation.
And the sky.
The sky reminds me of all the time I've spent searching for everything I've lost.
Every time I lost the will to look up.
Everything I look at makes my head spin,
Makes me close my eyes and turn away.
Except for you,
You're not distorted.
I've never seen anyone so clearly,
Never felt hope in a single glance.
Maybe I'm desperate to heal,
And I find solace in your your honest eyes.
Somehow,
I know that you'll never tell me a lie.
A single glance in your direction
Clears my head.
If only I could kiss you,
My mind would be clear as a sheet of glass.
