Endless Gray

The sky wore bruises in its endless gray
A river ran backward
It lost its way
And the leaves
They sighed like they couldn’t stay

The air tasted like a forgotten name
I tried to hold it but it slipped like rain

Oh glass hearts
They hold no flame
Fingers trace them
They break the same
Oh glass hearts
They fall too slow
You can’t catch them
You just let go

The stars leaned close
But they never spoke
Their light was heavy
Their silence broke
I reached for meaning
But the sky just choked

Oh glass hearts
They hold no flame
Fingers trace them
They break the same
Oh glass hearts
They fall too slow
You can’t catch them
You just let go

The wind stitched stories into the night
Threads of loss that wouldn’t sit right
Every thread pulled
Unraveling tight
