laying in arms that hold me
away from the
world
that wants to take me
away from
anything remotely positive
is when I feel
like things are finally looking
up
I should be able to feel
this way
while writing
on the mountain top as
the sun beats down on me with
shining
bright
eyes
but it's not the same
kissing lips that are soft and tender
stripping the cold harsh
reality
of everything trying to bring
me down
when all I feel is up
I know I should be able to feel
this way
while singing my favorite song
in the middle
of my room while my cat meows
circling me
with that glow in his
yellow
green
eyes
but it's not the same
as having someone in your corner
holding your hand on the worst day
giving you chills with a smile
making everything seem possible
making your heart sing songs that only
you can hear
