There Is A Light That Never Goes Out

Instead, it flickers.

It flicks me on and then it

flicks me off

And turns me on before it

turns me off. But just like the stars during the light

hours it stills shine far, far beyond my

baby-baby-baby blue brain’s

line of sight. And baby,

all I’ve been seeing lately

are theses clouds that hang angry

in a gang of shame and blame

in the same vein

as an endless train

that never starts and always

stops.

Its stops and stops and stomps

on my prompts

until I give up the ghost

that chased me to the west coast

into the arms of a loving host

where I felt at home, almost

but then everything that was ours

Just

became

hours.

There is a light that never goes out.

Instead its shines so bright

that I forget about the night

but even with all of its might it

cannot remove my doubts

or my inclination towards flight

or my shortness of sight

or my belief that I’m right

and you’re right

and no one is wrong

unless we both are

And here we are

both wrong for not talking

even thought we’re both so good at talking

we’re so. damn. bad. at blocking

Out the light that shines through this silence

The light that shows us our alliance

Was created before our compliance

The light that shows us we’re both lions

The light that shows we’re both lying

The light that shows we’re both trying

To keep something quiet but

neither of us buy it but

neither wants to try it

and we’ve both been goodbye-ing

But I’m still waiting standing by and

trying to be the good guy and

let you be free but

sometimes I can’t control me but

we’re leaves on the same tree but

we never seem to agree on

how to say I’ll fall this far

if you fall this far

and I’ll fall this far

if you fall this far

and I’ve fallen this far

There is a light that never goes out

And I still think of you when I look at the stars.
