i'm so deep
i lay asleep,
eternal slumbers
my secrets keep.
i’m so deep
these thoughts i reap,
footsteps echo
and souls do creep.
i’m so deep
inside my insanity,

your searching eyes leap
into my mind
answers you seek.
i’m so deep
i do keep
an unknown secret
causing you to weep.

But I close my eyelids
Not completely but just enough
That everything is a blur
And the specks all squish togeth…
Those [shining] Stars
Aren’t the stars cold
Deep in the black ocean
That looks like it could crash down
On us at any given time
How can we see their sparkle
When they’re so high above us
Floating around the earth
With all the helium filled balloons
