no shame

Gracious me, child

Where have you been?

Up and Down

Alive and

Raw

I saw a Rainbow

People scattered 

Inside and out

With music flying out of their soul

Nobody saw the red light coming

We didn’t stop

Couldn’t feel

Our heartache 

Smudging across the pages of history 

Until it was too late

And now these castles

Ragged against the sky

Are crashing down around us

I see nothing I speak only in silence

Warm hugs of sadness She always brings

Promises of tomorrow

Tomorrow It will rain then But I can’t keep the red From dripping off the corner of the page

And the lines drawn here are holding me in Holding me against the grain of my soul

Take my number down

Write it on your heart There’s no shame in starting over

There is no shame in saying goodbye
