HAZE

|11•11•2019|

I push myself aback
But the bright lights call my name
And fireflies float among the stars
Bringing my darkness to shame.

I turn my heels away
But you catch sight of me.
You pull me out of the sea of tears,
Taking me away from melancholy.

I want to be free from your hold,
But you tighten your grasp.
You can be hot, you can be cold,
My eyes only see black and white.

Whispers echo in my head
As my feelings are wanting to spill
From my heart, from my head,
But a prisoner of yours can't speak.
