White streaks on the shallow morning sky
Deep dark ocean blues mixed with midnight blues ,
Over at the horizon a battle for the day
Only one of the reasons why i’m wide awake,
***
Gold streaks on her mellow brown skin
Warm gentle heart beat mixed with soft spirit,
Within my empty chest a battle to let go
Only one of the reasons why my eyes won’t close,
***
Black streaks of ink on heartless court papers
Barred up windows mixed with streams of guilt,
Atop of the stand a battle for my life
Only one of the reasons why i’m up all night,
***
Shaky streaks of silence on my lonely soul
Complete dark cell mixed with bits of cold,
Underneath my blanket I battle to get out the bed
Because I was there all night and didn’t get no rest.
