Candy

Last night I dreamed of my death again
Barely awake and already overwhelmed
And so I struggle through the days
Until I hear your key
Turn in our front door
I’m the kid who can’t escape the maze
I even struggle through the best of days
Sometimes I think that’s all there is:
Just random suffering
A meaningless abyss
Only you can help me feel
That I’m not lost
That none of this is real
Just morning frost
Like the flicker in a spark
Just a whisper in the dark
(Just an errant question mark)
You turn ashes to embers
Black and white back into color
You are the morning star
You are my dramamine
My ignition
You are my gasoline
You are the very best in me
You are my shake and shine
Compass and center line
You are brilliant
One in a million
You are the very best in me
