Forever Stained

Broken pieces of color break away and fall
Reds and blue and a purple hue

Loving the imperfection of your perfect picture

Chances to thrive were tossed aside

Cold hearts numbed the one they made

Once a barren desert of broken dreams

Now a field of desire and hope grows

Young and soft faces overwhelmed by struggles

Seasoned and scarred hearts see with experienced eyes

running fast as you trip along the way

A flickering light puts out a message as moths fall

Look past the leather wings and claws

The barking guard dog has no bite

WHERE do you find comfort sleeping on a bed of nails

Everything is good and what I’ve dreamed
Everything is wrong and not what we ever dreamed
