Ivory Fields

Why is it so dark in here?

Where veins run dry from flat out fear

People mourn for different things

But don't they stick together



The lights are gone, just like you

Protecting someone else

And no, to me that does not sooth

Aren't you meant to be the shield?



We all have secrets that we hide

Trapped by laws which we abide

But are we hiding from the laws?

Or the secrets that we've formed



I dream about you every day

With poetry that will never decay

But I guess it's not meant to be

Considering you like her instead



This mask is just that, an old disguise

Which holds strong through every day

It's happy with light in everyone's eyes

But really I'm fading away



Remember me now as I am blown

Through fields of ivory

And sing my song like I was never gone

Not just a memory

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is real life, and to me means a lot. It is based on some friends at school, and I really feel like this right now.
