Our dreams carried us through suicidal years of hardship
Young love holding my hand
My father told me if I want to grow into a man
I'd have to fend for myself
But the snow falls, and I'm a child again
In your arms
I see sunsets, I see clouds, I see waves
In your arms
I'm an angel, and your love makes me feel safe
You kiss me and read my lips
And your touch is soft, caressing my skin
You hear my night time dreaming and treat me like a rose
In a room full of tears, when I feel for my sisters
The times we lost and prayed for happy days
I close doors and I pretend nothing is going wrong
But I can feel this remorse, how I hate you like punctuation
You make rules and I don't obey
I slip through your walls and give flowers to those I love
The people I've lost in dreams of freedom
Sometimes I can't even hear myself think, and I know
Fear is the biggest prison, life is the biggest scam
We live in it and get more afraid
But we wait for the sun each day just to feel something
And when the sky gets dark we cry 1,000 tears
In this requisite ceremony of sadness.

So much pain in this Jordan … but beautifully expressed . I’m sorry if your feeling sad (
Fear makes life feel so difficult
Thanks! I just poured a drink and smoked a cigarette and listened to Madonna and Terrible Angels by Cocorosie, and this flowed naturally. It's kind of sad we're connected by trauma, almost as if happiness is the deepest part of a gold mine. Almost as if we're lucky just to feel an ounce of happiness. Just read some of your newest poems, I truly think you're a brilliant writer.
We all need someone to connect to … in life . It’s sad how so many have to even go through trauma in the first place .. it’s not fair at all.
Thankyou 🙂 kind of you to say
Not listened to Madonna in a while . She’s good tho …
Yeh, true. Ray of Light is like opening the curtains to a new day.
Great song ! )
