Lightening,
I woke up and it was cold,
Lying there, duvet to your chin,
I stood by the window,
Watched the sun get shy
Cigarette nervous maybe,
But I’m not embarrassed with you.

Lightening,
I thought I saw you stir,
Impossible, sparkle lost in time,
I sat by your side,
Watched your chest rise and fall
You rose and fell,
What on earth do I do?
What earth would it be without you?

And what about the debris you’ll leave behind
Lost souls, when you are finally found,
Not sick, just asleep, just dying but not diseased.

Lightening,
You wake up and smile at me,
Stand and stumble to the floor,
“A coffee?” Maybe, you can’t decide.
A pale kind of skin,
A bloody mess, but clever beauty,
You go back to sleep,
I can’t help you when you get like this.

Lightening and just dying.

Come on God, do I seem bulletproof?

oh so beautiful. so amazing.

Lightening,
You wake up and smile at me,
Stand and stumble to the floor,
“A coffee?” Maybe, you can’t decide.
A pale kind of skin,
A bloody mess, but clever beauty,
You go back to sleep,

The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return.

I'm not so sure I totally 'understand' this penning, however I wanted to mention that I DO like THIS thought -

'I stood by the window,
Watched the sun get shy'

courtney - this is such a sad write, but still very clever and beautiful as always.

you are so talented.

Lightening is often a static burn for the children of the night.

Nicely penned, Courtney.
