Muck and Grime

I could have said no
And maybe that would have been right
But the joy from seeing you fly
Was almost worth it all
But it's time for me to go boy
It's time for me to go
Got to be getting on with that whole
Living thing
And leave the dreaming behind
Got to get stuck back into the
Muck and grime
You know about that right?
You know the earth and soil
Much better than I
I'm sorry I failed
I fought hard and failed
My heart is a fire emblazoned lion
It would not listen
It could not agree
To express less than it was
There was no reasoning with the beast
Should I be ashamed?
For loving?
Never
For spilling it all across these screens
Nah
Better to be 100 percent true
Better you know how deeply I loved you
We all need the memory of such adoration
From time to time
So here's mine
Keep it close to your heart
Break the glass
And use as needed
In the darkest hour
Hold it up to the mirror
And admire the beauty of your own light
