I've been given a threshold of Joy
It gently kisses my heart
And one is all I need
To be freed from my numbness
The night tells me to retire
But my heart doesn't quit
So I tell the night off
And it tells me farewell
The next day brings more sunlight
More illumination than usual
This simply can't be a normal day
This day holds something of secrecy
-----
My theory is proven
And the day rejects the dawn
The sun hides from it's unbearable shame
And I curse at the moon
For the moon hid this secret from me
I knew it by my tears
For my tears held the answer
They too betrayed me
For they knew it
But merely hinted me
I eavesdropped on the pain
For I could not have it kept from me
Because I might not deal with it later
I couldn't let denial set in
But denial did tempt me
So now that I know
The sun cannot hide any longer
But it can deceive me to believe
That the weather has changed
Because, in fact it has not
So here I rest in my cold skin
I tell the sun it is a liar
And it bears the blame
For it cannot warm this cold skin
And so I sit here and shiver
And the sun doesn't represent the day.
