~Glow~

ethereal flower
rain falls
on lips

memories pour
fourth like
sweets from
a jar

plans brake
shatter on
the ground
a echo
of what used
to be

violets in
oceans of
bloom open
up my hands
all I
want is
to escape
this desperate
scene to
hold onto
my dreams
along the
way

don't back
down don't
shy away
I've seen
my fair
share of
ups and
downs

turned around
glow elsewhere
I pick
the shine
over shadow
