Calmly You Lie

You smile as your heart breaks
For the things you
Can't do
Can't say
Can't show
How are you?

Do you still breathe easy?
Calmly, you lie
I'm fine
I'm okay
I'm good
And then you smile.


The sky is blue today
Tomorrow, rain
The next, possibly sunshine
Again.
But you don't see
The difference.

You feel like breaking
A glass against the wall.
Maybe paint the town
With your blood
Chilled to the bone.
How are you?

You smile and choke
The tears hidden inside.
Don't cry
Don't cry
Don't freaking cry.
Calmly, you lie.

Flowers blooms around
Clay stone turns red
The field is green again.
Grey clouds
In tomorrow's sky.
But now, you're fine.

A deep breath from within
Flowing fresh air
Absorbing life
Such as it is.
Stand still and see
Wait until the larvae is free.

The sky is blue today.
You're smiling
With your eyes.
Do you still breathe easy?
Meet me by the steps.
And let us run free.
