Mona Lisa

I Remember the day
Two blocks over
When you turned that corner
Did you look this way

Was it all in the way
You smiled carelessly
And found the brighter side of all that is

Forcing fate
To find a hold
Lay me down
In vibrant robes
It should be criminal to see my Mona Lisa passing by
But that’s better than sleeping alone with no dreams of asking why

It was ever cliche
Forcing closure
On a hopeless shoulder
Fully on display

I was hoping you’d stay (I wish you would stay)
And pass the time with me
We’d find the brightest side of all that is

Forcing fate
To find a hold
Lay me down
In vibrant robes
It should be criminal to see my Mona Lisa passing by
But that’s bettеr than sleeping alone with no dreams of asking —

How do I find peacе when you’ve left and you’re all that I see
How do I see light in the dark when you’re the fire inside (me)
Is this the betterment of every situation fighting flight
Or should I let go of the claim on that stranger passing by

Forcing fate
To find a hold
Lay me down
In vibrant robes
It should be criminal to see my Mona Lisa passing by
But that’s better than sleeping alone with no dreams of asking why

Is there ever a day
Chasing corners
When the waiting’s over
And you choose my way
