Bright Blue Sky

That bright blue sky above us

Is blinding to look at

So instead I look at you

Smiling as I do so

I could stay this way for forever

But I know everything must

End


My wings are stitched with pain and sorrow

But you held your arms wide open

Willing to accept everything I was

And everything I could be

Knowing I could fall at any moment

Leaving you here alone


Your quiet willingness to care for others

Is beautiful yet heart wrenching

Having your heart ripped out again and again

But still having the will to go on

To keep helping everyone in need


I don't know what the future holds

But I know that someone will care

When you disappear from this world

Even if that person is just me

Even if I'm already dead by then

I'll still care whether you know it or not


You can't stop caring about someone

No matter how much you try to

No matter how much you want to

You can lie to yourself as much as you want

You can deceive yourself countless times

But you'll still care about them

Even if it's just the littlest bit


The clouds chase the days away

As the blue above watches

And it will always be there

Whether you know it or not

And it will only become brighter

Until you embrace that brightness

And let it overtake you
