~~~ Justification ~~~

I don't want an explanation, no vindication,
I don't need your attempts of remedy.
Words you can erase, excise,
I want something convincing, something I can feel.
Give me your frustrations; give me your deepest secrets,
I'll keep them safe and hidden from the rest of the world.
I don't care about the rest as long,
As I get your best.

Keep me trapped in this euphoric bubble.
Watch as I float so high above it all,
Trying my hardest not to fall.
From these heights I can see the world for what it truly is.
An illusion of hope,
Dreams that end too soon.
Stars seem to implode when you come around,
Blackening my days into an eternity of darkness.

Endlessly wandering blindly,
Bruises from stumbling in the shadows.
I can’t seem to find the light I used to know.
A light so sweet, so pure.
It used to dance on my skin and reflect in my eyes.
But I haven't felt that warmth in days.
Warmth that reached so far into my soul,
I used to be illuminated.

But now I'm burned out, a worthless fuse.
I can only hope for the day,
That I am reunited with the light again.
After being lost in the dark for so long,
A glimpse of the light can make my heart race,
And make me forget
About where I've been...
