My Reason

You are the crumb on the floor

The bad taste in my mouth

The mold on my bedroom ceiling

And the aching in my heart

You are the fire that I long to catch

The rainbow that I don't dare follow

My blank page that longs to have a future

But screams because it will never have one

You are the words in my mouth

The love in my eyes

The touch on my fingertips

The dreams in my head

You are the lawn around my house

The close I wear

The air I breathe

And the reason that I'm still alive
