mired I's

I know I warned you

but it still feels mean

I just wanna be a kid and gleam

the way we could dance around lucidity

the way we could dream.

i prayed we would come to

but my day turned green

it doesn't mean much to you

but it means much to be seen

i tried to hide the anguish

and it worked for a second

I don't wanna make you feel down

so i'm poetically beckoned

i yearn to be in between

the thoughts that collide

the feelings this body deified...

i yearn to be free of 

languishing adour

the ancestral trigger

loss after loss

until we can finally see the picture

the seconds go longer

until what remains of these

idle eyes

idyll ties

the beauty of these mired I's

"rewind and bring it back"

says the creatures giggling in the snow

they're freezing but deep down 

this is all that they know

still I see what remains beneath.

what holds the soul between what is 

behind.

still i see what remains out of sight.

the relic of this mind...

what it means to be kind

i wistfully frown

pleading to share thy crown

not in solidarity but

the shadows of your renown
