Do you just wanna walk?

Hey, my backyard is kinda cool

Dead leaves flutter down like snowfall!

The ground is moist, but the earth is soft...

 

Shush, we don't have to talk

We do enough of that in school

This sky's a canvas, stained white and grey!

Hauntingly beautiful, this place...

 

Oh, you would rather talk...

Well, I'm sorry Jason's a "tool"

 

 

I would take you somewhere,

Far from this dead town

There's magic,

miracles and life

And color

bold and bright, so bright

We'd become

frames on dusty shelves

But really,

our hideous selves

 

The catch is -

Well, it rains at night

And darling,

I'm afraid you'll drown...

Haha, feel free! ;) :)

It has so much, beauty and simplicity with power and emotion and rawness in it.   You have such a talent and greatness and talent in you, and you are an amazing and talented and wonderful writer and person. 'Tis true. :)
