upon your bed of roses
you sleep so solemly
not knowing of this slander
this silent calumny
dreaming through the pages
reading just the lines
for nothing lies between them
except a life confined

Awaken to this morning
impiety and shame
so pure within your dreamland
so child like with blame
here you are so ageless
in midst of hope so bleak
dreaming of the exits
your soul still caught in sleep

the lines of hope are fading
across our midnight sky
leaving all so helpless
as life just passes by
clouds of pseudo violence
raining down like tears
reflecting in this sadness
a pain across the years
this mountain of a lifetime
within this lonely sea
sculpting each emotion
no life at all we see

sleepy in this purple
quiet, gentle time
with waves of yellow silence
yet colors you decline
black and white with greys here
no red and orange shown
just silver in the tinting
where greens and blues aren't known
the rainbow of this living
hidden in the mind
lost within the blindness
these colors just remind

remember in the darkness
all the shades of joy
gone now in the shadows
this brilliance you destroy
modern in this bleakness
yet ancient in your grey
still cloudy with devotion
in black and white you stay
the rainbow of our lives here
shining bold and bright
feeding on the hopeful
to lead us through the night

did you really mean it
when you said
you like me better
the other way
the way when i was
happy and perky
..and wasn't alone.
did you mean it?

did you really me it
when you said
you didn't like me
this way.
the way i am
when i feel worthless
and alone...
did you mean it?

did you really mean it
when you said
i needed
to grow up.
to grow out of
the innocence
i held so dear.
did you mean it?

did you really mean it
when you said
you were too busy
to dry my tears.
The tears i cried
because
i miss you.
did you mean it?

did you really mean it
when you walked away?
away from all
that i held close, 
including your love.
did you really mean it?
