shards in my eyes
make me blind
i stared up and invited the starlight inside.
snowflakes run scared
i'm chasing down the things that make us smile
i'm hurting tired.
blessed with a stellar nightlife
what a contrast to the darkened sky.
catching tiny stars in everything we touch
in everything that is:
((we are.))
burdened by these heavy eyelids
i try to escape it by singing out loud
by dancing in the snowy aisles
by turning up the heat & letting myself cry.
in your car i am safe from all the wrong
in your hands i am safer yet
you play all my favourite songs and talk about the trains.
take me to a special place where i won't crumble
turn up the stars
[with a headache like this, i'm dulling]
i'm losing my shiny finish.
you're picking up my glitter fleck by fleck
won't let me leave this castle (with steering wheel)
things that are fine,
our paradise that is ten times finer.
i talk about golden times
and you listen like i am the stars.
and the snow and the light dance all around us.
i am soft and breakable
you're all smiles and warmth.
i wanted to stay
i wanted to look at the stars.
home, james.
fairy tales.
borderline.
