Warm Like Gray

Lost my mind but I don’t mind

It just so happens all the time

But that’s okay

Warm and bright like the color gray

As I tip toed on cotton clouds

These doubts I can sedate 

I’ve never been this far before

Far from these outlines on the floor

It’s not what I thought

Numb from fears I’ve fought

And I’ve began to see more color

In every other breath I’ve caught

And I don’t need your sympathy 

Or any other look you give to me

I need to try

When all these truths became a lie

Warm and bright like the color gray

Colorblind in a rainbow light

And maybe I was wrong

Held on for far too long

And now I’m free

As we trapped our secrets behind our teeth

We grieved and shed our skin

Destined to redeem this new heart beat

Love Always,

Lainey

Sky Between the Clouds

Soft are the whispers that fell through the sky

In a language no one else can hear but you

Listen closely and hold out your hands

But you can’t hold on to what you want to 

In a world trying to force what it can’t 

Close your eyes and tell me what you see

Do you see all the colors of the rain?

Or maybe the dark swallowed the light?

The thoughts that haunt were never drained

Flooded through your waking dreams each night

But as the sky speaks in horizon shades

It pulls you to the edge to dance with the tide

Back and forth in circles and squares 

Start to hear the sky speak through your eyes

Feeling exposed cause they know you care

Don’t confuse flashes of light with pride

The names we make can change at any time

It takes a lot to stand against the crowd

Only you can read the signs in plain sight

And see the sky between the clouds 

Love Always,

Lainey
