spark


alone

walking into the ocean, don’t know when i’ll be back…

a vague white spark.
here arrives.
heart, beat, jump.
thunderized.

(i come alive)

it even smells like rain.

(i could’ve died)

here comes the pain
showering pouring down
here comes the same
lonely broken clown

a vague white spark.
here tonight.
heart, beat, jump.
thunderized.

(i come alive)

it even smells like rain.

(i would’ve died)

tell us a story,
of another life,
when we were nothing,
i’d call mine.
sorrow borrowed on time.
give me the freedom
(give me peace)
i’ve tunneled out
bargained my release.

a vague white spark.
there revived.
heart, beat, jump.
thunderized.

(i came alive)

it even smells like rain.

(i should’ve died)
