will you still see brightness

Updated: Jul 21




you’re the type of guy

who sings his heart out until it gives

then takes a piece of mine

wine is splattered in my brain

what is left but to say

I hope you are doing well

Even though I cannot tell if I mean it


I hope I emulate a light so strong

it blinds those who do not welcome it

but in my head there is a song

which tells me I am no one’s muse

no one’s picture of honesty


a mirror and a reflection

who do I see

is it you, or is it me?

what if I cannot tell how to

cut the ropes that bind me to them

what if I refuse to look truth in the face

and ignore her scream to run away

if I drown her out, and then hurt anyway

If I plead and cry, even at my own demise

can I still hold your hand?

will you still see brightness in my eyes?
