Crawled through the sunset...for Brian

By: Laurabelle

Crawled through the sunset
to feel its treacherous flames
rid my body
of despiration
to hear the crackle
scorching my skin
instead of the silence
jabbing at my heart

Only to find clouds
on the other side
no way out
vision unclear
flying through
without an end
no conscious thoughts
or love anymore

The rainbow fails to rescue me

The moisture of the clouds
comfort my scorched skin
of the sunset
but still covered
my sight
my love
and clouded my mind

I pray for a way
never to have
crawled through the sunset
the beauty quite rare
but pain too deep

No more clouds
kiss the shadows
in my eyes
as they weep
