Danger,
In the pitch black night.
She could hear,
Danger,
As she fumbled for a light.

Danger,
As she held her breath.

What I know now.

My life was troubled
By emotional decisions
Before,

and stare longingly at the world
through the windowpane.
They can see clearly

placing them on my doorstep.
Your guilty gift
begs for forgiveness...
yet all that I can think of

Is it really true
to forgive?
Do you really mean it
When you say sorry?
I may forgive

The colors that surround me

When you're feeling down.
They can make a smile,
From a sad old frown.
They can brighten,
A lonesome dreary day.

I know this to be true.
I make my own decisions,
And try to see them through.

When decisions come my way.

Before I was born,
After I was an egg.
Before there was a warn,
After I would beg.

Before you were love, . . .

Carry it within, It burns, it yearns. We nest.
Hurry, dear. Bide your time. It matters not.
