Some Kind of Idol

Would you ask me if I'm okay

If I told you I'm not?

Sad words falling as water

Pooling in lies and burdened truths

Red eyes catching mine

On my head

A crown of cold

It hurts to hold on

To my fragrant throne

Made of Forget-me-nots

But my grasp won't falter

Because you're so tired

So here I'd let you rest

A common reflection

Regret masked in skin and bone

Being yourself the best you can

Is all that anyone could ask

Would you begin talking to me again

If I revealed what I am

All that I cherish

What I'll never hate

Things that make my heart soft

Words that turn my soul to stone

I fell through the world

Finding a tryst in all of this

A boat in a dried well

Such a beautiful veil

Praised for all that it hides

Making everything pure and white

Wipe away these clouds

From my hauntingly blue sky

Lacking in reason

The sun seems to shine

For only you

Do I dare let this stoic self

Shrug and sigh

I watch raindrops race on my window

Pacing to the questions I ask

Always seeming to end in why

I've lived for love endlessly

A feeling of what I'd forget

I climb slowly into an empty bed

Wondering if I'll ever dream again
