my friend
orange hair
heart on sleeve
won’t leave
they’ve been through
so much
the feelings
she does clutch
can i convey
the price
that she pays
is herself
making herself smaller
quieter
for the grown man
who ignores
who dismisses
a real squaller
pretends he’s a baller
but she’s so much more
so much light
so much talent
so much fight
i wish
oh i wish
you could leave
where you are
be selfish
be vain
be whole
wholly you
wholly strong
wholly right
wholly new
i know you can
i’m here
tell me your plan
i’ll sidekick
i’ll assist
i’ll support
i’m here
my dear
i can love
you
in the light
i can love you
in the dark
my friend is an amazing singer and when she sings Love in the Dark it plays over and over in my head. sometimes it helps to do some art about it. so i did.
