When You Remember; When You Forget

When You Remember

My life..
a wind,
a field
with so many pulls
pinches, tugs
laughs and smug
I can see the sky
and yesterday,
I could fly
in the ways we went
and the days well spent
The clouds were perfect
that day,
the sky..
doubtlessly
blue
and for you too
life was a wind,
a field
with so many pulls,
pinches, tugs
come back
you are loved
these skies are blue
when you are loved
------

When you Forget

When you’re in love
the sky is an endless,
perfect blue
but when you're sad,
it turns a gray hue
and no matter how
hard you try
you’ll never fly
and remembering tears
just makes you cry
and no matter how hard
you try
it’ll never erase the lies
and no matter how long
how long you wait
scars just burn
and bring out hate
for the ones you’d never
turn on
the ones you’d never
curse on
the ones you never
would
when they’re gone
gone for good

When You Remember was inspired by Loved and Pale Blue Sky by Cranes..:

Is there a reason why
the sky gets black at night and
Our hearts feel like stone
And you're left to face this alone?

And God bless your soul
In the heavens up above
If you can't find a way
You must know that you are loved

Do you know...
The way I feel tonight?
Don't let go...
It's beautiful tonight
It makes me feel alive
It's beautiful inside

I'm safe here in a pale blue sky
It's beautiful inside

Brighter than the stars
When I catch your eye,
When I catch your eye
When I catch your eye
It's beautiful inside
When our tears subside
It's beautiful inside
