Half steps

There's green eyes under a blue sky

Telling a story in disguise

A boy in his late years

About a girl and her biggest fears

She moves in circles and half steps

Tracing every loss and misstep

Her dark eyes in the dark of night

and his bright smile covered in light

Whispering words of who she's becoming

and the pain she is perfectly numbing

Free hair on dewy grass

insecurities splitting like glass

Secret stories escaped her lips in lullabies

of how time stands, of how time flies

Innocent faces on the stars

breaking through restraining bars

Left turn right

He said you made this night

Up, lay down

Her mouth framed, let's skip this town.

Smile, tell me now

Laughter, just right now
We're tangled, just tangled
there's nothing to be mangled
They're walking in circles and half steps
forgetting every misstep.
