Tell me a truth
My friend, just tell me a truth
To kill the oblivion economy
To set ablaze
The voices of the unspoken
Just bleed your words
Like fireflies to moonlight
Into the parched cracks of my soul
I’ve been waiting for your truth
Like daybreak waiting for horizon’s mercy
And the moon…
We all wait for the moon to rise
Just to hold on to a sure thing
A constant
Light
Traveling 25,000 miles
To your ready retina
But I am waiting on a truth
From zero distance
Not afraid to touch you
With the sheer force of my silence
Not afraid to collapse
Into whatever truth you choose to share
Please write your ink on my road map veins
Place your echo into my mason jar heart
I’m tired of sleeping with death
Time eater, night dreamer
I’m tired of being numb to your possibility
Moon dancer, star chaser
I’m waiting on a truth
More real than anything I can ever give words to
So lend me your truth
That it may be weaved into the fabrics
Of something so unstable
It will shape shift our moon rock hearts
Into once again believing
