For One Sweet Moment

My canvas in the sky whited out
The moment I said goodbye to myself
Damned my refection with a sickened stare
And kissed the salty lips of a stranger
Of me
Every empty promise made
Just a blackened reminder
An arrow shot straight towards the soul

Flying on broken wings
How I have tried
To hold the sun
For its infinite warmth
And window into the sureness of tomorrow
Oh, and how I have begged
For the comforting cool of the moon
To close these stolen eyes
If only for one sweet moment
