Yellow Window

I rub my eyes
And sigh so deep
This bare light bulb casts
Ugly shadows
The floor is cold
On bare feet
The past sits naked
In the corner crying.
In this cell of Society,
In a forgotten basement
The clock repeats over and over
Just how lonely I am.
Feet walk by the yellow window
Sunshine, filtered by the stains.
I hug my knees
And bang my head in a dream
Without an end.
My hair, matted with dust
Teeth, hurt and rot.
My heart, struggles to remember
Why it needs to beat.

Inside my eyes,
Your smile,
Holding me and saving my life.

"My heart, struggles to remember
Why it needs to beat."

I love it.  Those lines relate to so many people.

Words well spoken
so very true

I pray your windows
change colors hue

from yellow cowards
to shades of blue

may all perfect
perceptive views
