Blind and Hazy

by dollwithafrown   Sep 7, 2009


I sat beneath the willow tree and smiled to the air;
the rain, it filled my yellow cup and told me you were there,
and I held onto our branches, the ones that held our name,
and told the leaves that I'm okay, that you were not to blame.

And I laughed and I cried and I smiled and danced;
upon the moon rising, I gave it a chance,
and it crashed and it burned and it tore at my heart:
swimming in secrets that can't bear to part,
and I'm blind and I'm hazy, my eyes cannot see -
without you as my guidance, my future's not free.

I paid for this life, like I paid for the booze
that lined our carpet, next to your sweaty shoes,
and I remembered the tales, upon which we took a chance
and I laughed and I cried and I smiled and danced.

And I'm blind and I'm hazy, my eyes cannot see -
I'm begging and pleading, but my future's not free,
and it crashed and it burned and it tore at my heart
your silky skin and cedar eyes, I cannot bear to part.

Maybe you were broken;
maybe your sky got black;
but I once had a broken doll,
and once fixed, she came back.

    I feel bad not replying with a comment as in depth as yours. but the meaning is easy to pinpoint, and the use of anecdotes (talking about booze and sweaty shoes, establishing credibility and believability) makes it really good. The flow is spot on. I cant think of anything that would need to be changed.

    this is great.
    keep it up.
