you be the music

i be the poet
with words that
own this page

you be the music

why be
caught in a web
of our own thoughts
lingering over
bitter sorrows
when we could just
lay our sadnesses down
and find the shelter
we deserve
in this wild world

we can
battle the darkness
that stretches across
your face
and beat back
the shadows
that live
in my heart and
stand under a sky
the color of home
wearing happiness
like a stain

i be the poet
you be the music

these be my words
that paint
a horizon
before us
