crave the sky

Her bright dyed hair danced with the sun’s ray 

it flowed like a tree being cut into timber as she past 

I wanted to say how beautiful she 

was but the words would not jump from my vast mouth

The bay was all fuzz as I looked above 

I  begged to be saved from earth's submerged floor  

This will not be the last time I test these chains

Pushing against the pain to go fly with the flock 

I was like a mime, trapped in a open box 

If only I unlocked the weights holding down my wings  

Then maybe I could fly along the wind 

Over the drowning tide where I use to hide

If only I would let go from the haunting past 

Soon I will die looking at the sugar laced sky 

I could taste the world as I drown in the moon-faced disgrace
