A painted sky......

If you knew I wrote a poem for you, I wonder if you'd search for lies.

If you had an inkling of the way you bring the brightest smile to my eyes,

I wonder if you'd try your best to make every twinkle fade; take away the colors of every shade.

A day like today I can ponder.

But I'll not allow more than a subtle hint of a memories whisper. 

Shift and miss the way you make all my senses wonder. 

I can't delete what was left behind. 

A band embraced with leather

once held truths, now hold the virtue of a haunted sorrow

yearning for tomorrow, seeking solace from yesterday

I'm soaring through the paths I should be dodging

grasping every obstacle as they mold into a mirage

Missing what they try to teach me

only holding onto what the pain has beseeched me 

If I cry I swear the world hears me

but im silenced by the colors of a greyer sky

Left to forge through the muck with no one on my side

Not as I seem, though forever as I should be 

Tell me if i asked you could tomorrow be easy?

My mind, it traces too many of you

hiding my purpose by a shade of blue

Circle after circle sucking me in

too dry to remember even the simplest clue

tainted truths or a cultured hue

I'm dowsed in red and shunned by silver

tasked to continue a cycle of torture

only weapons are created by this sole master

trying to hide but i can't surrender

Putting myself into the blender of my own demise

ashamed to admit im a soulless creature

cowering shadows in a world hushed from all the bliss-less mush

I try so hard to push yet every moment proves too much

Winning past surrender

I see the path and its no longer hindered

no longer shadowed by my own faithless blunders

Foreseeable futures

If I continue to reach I hope you'll climb

Loving you for every hopeless rhyme

Shifting aside faults for a chance

No more missing that second glance.
