Edge of Light

Edge of Light I was floating on a steady high Counting stars in a plastic sky Chasing calm like a holy rite As dark fought to shape-shift light I wrote my name in ash and flame Said goodbye to every name But healing isn’t clean or kind Sometimes it pulls you back in time And I swore I was almost free But ghosts don’t like to let you be Isn’t it funny the sky you saw so blue Can turn…

Ready

Ready- Lainey’s Light Ready I’ve been quiet, I’ve been waiting, Learning how to hold my ground. Took some time to find my fire, But now I’m never backing down. Used to doubt the way I’m made, Played it small and stayed afraid But something in me’s waking up And it won’t go back to sleep. Every scar, every tear Built the bridge that brought me here, Now I see it clear… I’m ready, for…

Sanctuary

Sanctuary Used to chase ghosts in hotel sheets Woke up with my heart in my hands, not on my sleeve I played nice with my enemies Told myself it’s love when it was barely peace Flames in the mirror, smoke in my breath Danced with my damage like it’s all I had left But the fire died down, and I finally see I don’t need saving if I’ve got me I built this room with scars and hope Closed the…

Almost Here

Almost Here There’s glitter in the pavement cracks I trace it like a heart attack Counting freckles like constellations Dreaming of my next location Packed a suitcase full of ghosts Lipstick letters, midnight posts I’m not made to sit and stay Burnin’ maps just to light my way I don’t want perfect, I want real Give me chaos I can feel Summer’s almost here, and I’m restless again Fell…

Ghost Signal

Ghost SignalWoke up with your shadow in my chestDidn’t dream you, but you didn’t restI could swear you almost said my nameLike static bleeding through the blame I felt you pulling like the moonBut I won’t chase, it’s too soonthere’s too many shadows at nightAnd none of them are mine I could break the silenceI could crash right inBut you’d never growIf I let you win So I don’t call, I don’t…

Ties

Lainey’s Light just posted her new blog: Ties 💜 She even attached music to this piece. Give it a listen to hear some new music!

There are places your soul knows Like the shadows that grow close  To the person your mind goes to when you’re haunted by their ghost Maybe it’s meant to show me signs What is meant for me is mine  Two souls, the twins, a blessing and a sin See the tapestry of stars This constellation is ours A mosaic made before the start Of our infinite heart Careful not to break it Validated and…

Smoke Signals

Smoke Signals Did I just fall or are we upside down? Safe when smoke signals are out of town Only to see it’s a mile away It’s not that far away where do we go from here now? There’s a street light holding on for dear life Flickering for hours after midnight As the echoes of a starless sky intensifies we are being lined up out of sight Do we hide or put up a fight? Where do we go from…

Rediscover

Rediscover  Am I still broken? Am I still me? Spent time healing In voids unspoken Pick up and leave Lucky me, I’ve searched the universe to no end I’m back here once again Look away with those eyes This is your warning Locked in and mesmerized I know you see right through me The only place I’m free I break the spell and look away These moments don’t tend to stay Stay, stay High…

Moonlit Days

Moonlit DaysHold me tight On this cold December nightLet the midnight fire fall into darkAs Shadows climb higher around the arcClutch the crucifix and obsessAs you imagine me undressMiles away but you’re right hereLost in a fantasy so insincere Far from the paradise where we connect Moonlit days aren’t to blame thoughA winter’s breath paints what we knowHide your hands cause we know they…

Good on Paper

Copper colored hair coated in gold You matched the sunrise so warm yet so cold The sparkle in your eyes began to rust Lost in a moment holding onto us  You kept me on it as you wrote me a sonnet  It left you haunted, guess it’s what you wanted You’d begin to speak and paint all your dreams Following the green like it’s all you need Why can’t you breathe, is it not what it seems? All you…

Another Us

Another Us How do these stars workI don’t think they’ve heard a word I saidAnother monument fades to dustTried to encapsulate another us, butCan’t keep alive what never wasAs the light dims I can’t hideFrom the dark that floods my mindAnd the ghosts of us runs and runs When we blew dandelions to the sunThey burned cause that’s what it does If the heart that beats can think for itselfHow did it…

In Your Eyes

In Your Eyes there’s a subtle light escaping the darkest depths of lies I can see it in your eyes there’s a life inside you try and hide with secrets kept no one knew except I can see it in your eyes I’ve seen your many sides nothing scares me off this time it’s a part of life we walk it blind walking the thinnest line just trying to survive cause after all I see the truth in your…

Feel You in Blues

I’ve searched far and wide The galaxies across I’ve gone through death and life  When you’re lost in the dark Every glimpse I get of light It came from my heart If this isn’t the right time I don’t know when to start If mirrors told the truth  Why do I see you when I’m looking at me? What should I do If we gravitate to each other instinctually? I’ve been hurt before But I’m not…

Tonight

Tonight Boys with poison smiles Will make you think they’re tame and sane and mild Bite my lip and slip a glance Forget the rules of second chances I’ve dared myself to touch you Please let me do what we know we shouldn’t do Go slow, soft touch, rough burns, safe words Hold tight, just right, neighbors, they heard Don’t get too close to stars Cause they’ll never burn as bright as…

Dreamer

Deeper the dreamerCloser to the wakeNo they can’t see herBlink and it’s too lateCan’t look up from gravityHold your breath and fly awayBut egos blind realityToo heavy to reach herA crisis criticizedSome call it toxicitySome wonder whySome call it heavenly Infinite love and light, Lainey Copyright © 2024.
