Shades of green.

.............Shades of green...........
Sometimes I try to tell you things you need to know
My mind locked as a prison, cold steel bars I can't let go
Open bloody wounds, White knuckles holding tight,
Stay awake or demons might clutch me in the night.
This little girl you let go
This child loved you so
only half of me, Still can't find the other missing pieces
searching all my life, grains of sand upon dark beaches.
Slipping through my fingers, dreams always seem to chase
Forever waking up as I'm about to know your face
they say you were a good man
But I'll never really understand
Concrete blood stained canvas, Monkey bars, chalk outline
got all the greyscale photos, But that never made you mine
I never sought possessions, Never fought with juried reason
In my critics mind so simple, Forever dead, a man, a season.
