Melody (day 174)

How long till we

find the last flood?

How long till we

search the stars?

How long till our nightmares

are for the world to see?

I want you to glitter like you

know where you are

 

I wonder

If you caught me

where would we land?

If you threw me

where would I fall?

If you sang me as a melody

what would I sound like?

I hope I wouldn’t crash flat

against the wall

 

Midnight sings

too fast too loud

Midnight cries

when you give it all

Midnight spills over into

cracks we’ve never seen

Finger paint with empty till

the world feels small

 

I wonder

If you caught me

where would we land?

If you threw me

where would I fall?

If you sang me as a melody

what would I sound like?

I hope I wouldn’t crash flat

against the wall

 

Sing like the wandering

is all I’ll ever need

Sing like the lipstick melts

between the flames

Sing like you need me

but I know you’ll never

Sing between these eyes

baby, it’s a mind game

 

I wonder

If you caught me

where would we land?

If you threw me

where would I fall?

If you sang me as a melody

what would I sound like?

I hope I wouldn’t crash flat

against the wall
