light night
know that I’m running deep into the pale black with my potential wasted streaming all kinds of colors behind me as I run run run fast like a decision that you make like a bandage that will never stop your muddy kaleidoscope from seeping out and leaving a trail behind you
a trail that you’ve avoided naming
that you’ve avoided even glancing at
never stopped to take the grains of salt that you left in all those wounds you blamed on a ghost you
that somehow is still there when I look into the clear parts of the river that those in your wake are drowning in
like a rainbow in an oil slick
ooh, that’s a good one, you think
that will really resonate on the dashboard
when was the last time you did something just for yourself without imagining a million cameras were on you?
always falling so deep in the night
that’s not the place to look for light
