Streetlight

Streetlight

I started with a blank sheet

My eyes were young, carefree

My heart could handle no heat

Thought nowhere better to be

I talked with Hate

She was lost at sea

And she always fought with Fate

Thought her anger'd be the key

I met with Hope and she kissed me

She became my faithful plea

Maybe for a little I could have been free

Heaven, lost in the glee

I screamed at Fate for hours

For everything I couldnt be

She smiled and picked me a dying flower

Handed a steaming cup of tea

I took a seat with Sorrow

And she just stared at me

She must have thought I was her hero

When I fell onto my knee

I tried to talk to Joy

My worst and greatest friend was she

But Sorrow held her close and coy

Couldnt get her alone, couldnt let her enjoy

I ended with a weighted heart

My eyes misty to flee

Through all my time upon this Earth

The fired burned my tree

Yet to the end my greatest art
