I am not the dysfunctional light switch,
17 times a day on again off again but
I think sometimes I’m caught in the parallels of
my own distorted perception and I just see
a jagged world falling fast and
and

you are blue, the deep
cyan-scented thing of night I crave, blue.
beautiful bleeding blue who cries like
the breaking sky and sings like a summer night,

I am invisible, changing before your eyes.
nauseous regurgitation of every color
I’ve ever loved,

while these crystalline dreams tinted teal
cradle me to sleep
just let me ramble for a little maybe

Cyan is such a charming word...Now, "cyan-scented thing of night I crave" <3

I also love how you increase the rhythm of your pieces with consonance :

"just see a jagged world falling fast"... "beautiful bleeding blue who cries like the breaking sky..."
I'm sorry, I'm really enjoying this :love:
