The Rainbow

ness

Running through the universe,
Looking for the light,
I found a broken rainbow,
Crying in the night.

I tried to glue it back again,
Fix it’s bleeding heart,
But the circle had been broken,
Before it’s song could start.

The push and pull of meaning,
Are tugging at my sleeve,
The million colours dancing,
In the cloth the weaver weaves.

Are burning in the darkness,
Burning in the night,
As the rainbow goes on crying,
Sinking out of sight.

And now I’m crying loneliness,
Crying on my knees,
The butterflies of emptiness,
Are dancing in the breeze.

Running through the universe,
Looking for your face,
I come back to the start again,
To find my  tail I chase.

I know I’ve found my destiny,
I know that it is true,
The beginning and the end of it,
Is where we’ll all meet you.

I sent you my broken rainbow,
Made of butterflies and tears,
Made of broken promises,
I made through all these years.

The treasures that I kept for you,
Deep inside my heart,
Have crumbled into nothingness,
The stars have torn apart.

I struggle through this universe,
Looking for the light,
Hoping you’ll come back to me,
Before the fall of night.

I found my broken rainbow,
Crying in the breeze,
And now I’m down here waiting,
Waiting on my knees.
