Ellie

Ellie, as the sun awakes, it makes accusations Of foolishness that it would not allow You see, I'm so enraptured by your ways That your great red flag parade Remains well-hidden in a safe place That I can't think about Ellie, your presence flows through my veins, my reality The world around me turns to vivid shades I can't think or stick to plans Responsibility be damned Till truth raises its threatening hand As you fade away The streetlights cast a sickly glow Through my bedroom window My consciousness held captive by my fulfilled fears There is no comfort in the words you say The colors, dulled and blurred by day Echo your distance from me even when you're near My body, in rejection of this double life Is filled with pain, with wasting in the bones You turned so cruel so suddenly You froze, and then withdrew from me Ellie, you shattered and left me To pick the pieces up alone
