I feel the chill deep in the bones of all my empty spaces
the sunlight gets so filtered
that I can’t even see it
and maybe I could find it
if I could walk that far

but I’ve been getting by on just enough, keeping myself small
and keeping quiet so no one knows I’m carrying it all
and I know how far I’ve gone
but the road goes on and on
you know as well as I do
it never really ends

so if you broke me down into all my little pieces
took it all apart and studied all my bends and creases
you’d be peeling layers back
‘til your fingertips bled black
and the sun set far below
our shadows swallowed whole

so just like haunted houses keep their doors boarded up tight
I’ll keep those pieces safe beneath my ultraviolet light
don’t go scratching at those walls
or scaling steep waterfalls
I’ll just meet you on the shore
these parts of me are yours [comments] => 3 [counter] => 140 [topic] => 32 [informant] => MoonlitAngel [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry ) Your Poetry Dot Com - Ultraviolet Light
