Morning

Light of my life, morning’s here again.
There’s nothing worse.  It’s blinding me.
 
Let me stay here, where it’s cold and dark.
So I can protect this frozen, broken heart.
 
How many hours ‘til night?
Time after time, the light hurts my eyes
 
What if I go, morning swimming.
A glimmer of hope.  It’s scaring me.
 
What if I float?  What if I forget?
I might be seen.  Can I take that bet?
 
Water is filling my eyes
Blinding me to secrets, that I hide.
 
An odd feeling comes.  Morning sanity.
A self-cleaning head.  Thoughts flood to me.
 
The wildest idea, I might care again.
Wipe the slate clean.  No life acumen.
 
But how can I come clean again?
They’ve been too many times, that I’ve lied.
 
Light of my life, morning’s here again.
Sun shining down.  It’s warming me.
 
A smile on my face.  Smelling flowers bloom.
The world’s come to life.  No more doom and gloom.
 
Morning just might be enough,
To stop me from shouting at angels above
