Dastrix Slogan
Bluelighter
thank you for today
for tomorrow, and the new twist that comes with it
for 1 second in a lifetime
to just be understood, once, by someone other than me
thank you for the time
for making it go so fast, that when I blinked, I missed it
and for making it go so very slow
that I thought the day might never end
I blinked, and it was still there
thank you for the people, all the people
the thousands who have yelled with me
and the thousands who have yelled against me
but mostly for those who have silently stood beside me
thank you for those little fingers
a hand so small it could barely grab my finger
for eyes born blue that stayed so blue
and the irony of watching myself grow
thank you for the quiet, the silence, the still
and even though, 11 years on, the tears still burn
thank you for the peace I found, if only just once
to wake up in my lovers arms, and belong
and if this is all I am
and if all I have to give is nothing, falling through my fingers
i will kneel down as my hollow shell dries up
before it crumbles in the sun
and the wind blows me to memory,
only tears left in the dirt
one last time
i will say thank you
thank you for my life
this is all I have to say
for tomorrow, and the new twist that comes with it
for 1 second in a lifetime
to just be understood, once, by someone other than me
thank you for the time
for making it go so fast, that when I blinked, I missed it
and for making it go so very slow
that I thought the day might never end
I blinked, and it was still there
thank you for the people, all the people
the thousands who have yelled with me
and the thousands who have yelled against me
but mostly for those who have silently stood beside me
thank you for those little fingers

thank you for the peace I found, if only just once
