Cease Fire

The lush colors of a blurry memory
Luminously incinerating the shades at night
I close my eyes, prepare to see
That hopeless, never-ending fight
I cannot flee, I cannot flee

Words cut through and separate the two
Mind and heart, firing bullets labelled with my name
Soon I lose touch with what once was true
Friends and fiends alike, it's me who is to blame

Remembrance of my endlessly blooming field
Etiolates to gray, they have crushed through my shield
I know the end is near, though this is just a prelude of it all
One day soon, I know that I will fall

But I will clutch the roots of wilted flowers
I will not let the bad devour
That of me, which will survive
I won't let you take my life

Slowly, colors do return
Deciphering the meaning in bold letters
I color them in, trying not to burn
My chance to live my life a little better
