everything they had-

Pack-it-in to one last time

Make it just enough

Running of the gauntlet

Making you so tough

Why'd you push the boundaries

and cause yourself this pain?

Why'd you leave so quietly

and stand out in the rain?

They gave you time

They gave you space

But it's never quite enough

They gave you everything they had

And still you treat them rough

They all reach out their hands for you

and cradle you with care

But you rally and rail against them

and tell them they don't care

They gave you everything they had

time and love and space

but you laughed and spat and kicked up dust

You threw it in their face

storm-

spinkle sparkle

flicker flash

blinded by the lighting

caught up in the crash

of joy and more

and setting store

by things that make you smile

and twisted rings

or fancy things

amusements for a while

come join in the hegemony

let's make a great cacophony

before the joy is gone

at the edges of this storm

spinkle sparkle

flicker flash

blinded by the energy

run the final dash

all there is-

and in that moment

the shadows become fuzzier

the lines deeper

and all the worry of the world descends on my shoulders

if you love me

cross everything that you have

fingers, toes, ankles and knees

I need all the luck you can muster

but isn't it the same every day?

isn't luck the only difference between

a good day and a bad?

A joy and a sorrow?

so throw salt over your shoulder

bless yourself

hold the rabbits paw

and cross your fingers for me

I want it all

I want more
