Rainbows and Light
What good a rainbow if I'm colorblind?
And the treasure at the end is not there to find?
Everything I've left behind shines
so brightly to remind me of the kind
of fate which holds my binds
What good is light when I've no eyes
And I can't do anything to purge the lies
Which fill my life with strife and chastise
My sorrow for giving rise to the guise
That I could ever be happy again
Wish that I could feel the rain upon my skin
For every feeling is a sin from which none win
And I pray to the god who either is not there
Or unwilling to answer my prayers, for something to be fair
I'd tear this world apart
The ghost of her warmth chills me to the bone
And I blame myself for her needing to roam
I come home, seeking her embrace
Only to find her presence erased
I still taste her sweet lips upon mine
And with every word I write, I cross the line,
But fine
There's nothing left to lose, nothing I want to gain
Except to undo this pain and see her face again
To stare into her loving eyes and laugh,
My best friend which had chosen this path
I weep, i sit and weep as she walks away
For I love her far too much to ask that she stay
She was no mere girl, not a memory gone
She was that which I wanted since the dawn
Heartbroken is not enough,
Shattered cant describe
The fact that I feel the need to writhe
For I am not who I was
And even my words, try as they may,
Cannot express the fear and pain
That courses through my veins
And drives me insane,
For she was not merely a girl,
She was my whole god damn world
She was my best friend,
Not merely my lover, for there was nothing above her
She was it!
Everything I could ever want
And now my dreams her visage haunts
And taunts, for she is forever gone
The sun will never rise, no dawn
In sight, no reason to fight
My world is grey
I spend my days in bed, I lay
For no force drives my heart to beat
I am but a sack of meat, wish not to meet
Any other, I wish to remain lonely,
All other girls would place second only
In my heart, because she is not merely a part
She stole it, and now it is hers
What else can I do for this burning curse?
My world is spinning faster and faster
My body a puppet, but I'm not the master
I'm not crazy, I swear that I'm not
I'm caught in a love that burns too hot
Her eyes which once held warmth
Are no longer there
Its almost too much to bear
So I bare my soul for all to stare
And pray that someone make it fair
The fair! Oh the fair!
The night we walked for hours
And the night was ours, all ours
We laughed and played games, we rode the rides
And now I swim against the tides
To keep myself within the frame,
And no, my love is not to blame,
Its the flame that burns which causes pain
And I miss the rain... I miss the Rein
I close my eyes, once again
And try to wish back my best friend,
But it's all in vain,
My blood will flow with no cuts
I feel the turning in my guts
I look to the darkness of the night
The wind blows light, whispers all will be right
I close my eyes and dare to dream
Of a reality where she didn't leave
I'll smile to myself, sure it's fake
But I will take what I can take

Just how I was feeling one day, I suppose... Or perhaps how I feel on a regular basis. I felt better after writing it. Though, I rather like the ironic title I gave it. :3
