missed, by Brandon. (10/19/2012)

in the loneliest of rooms 
one i couldn't leave too soon
i felt the light that'll shine each day i'll get

i can't go back to the tomb
that i rose from in bloom
i'll never lose as much i can bet

but still when i look back
i'll not fear foe nor attack
for i can see the eyes that made me see

the rae of light shines still
always able always will
if i remember i remain and i will be

there are those who won't
some who can still don't
i hold my head high like she said i could

the mornings and the cold
the narrow and the old
the fire in me comes from gas nor wood

it burns only those in shame
never asking who to blame
i carry it in all who once carried me

i'll return the favor to
the place where i once knew
my mother friend and guardian runs free

no more frightened ashes
from coals of time it passes
no one has time to burn like it was money

if you knew i'd soon miss
the girl with the diamond kiss
you'll leave me where the milk flows just like honey

for a moment i must pause
for the one who gave me cause
as long as i live so too shall my rae

it's too bad some may not
for fear of getting caught
in the nets under the water by the bay

for they missed the space in time
no words can properly rhyme
or do the justice i know she deserves

now that i am back
i can retreat or attack
but i'll never look at lines without curves

for she made me a man
and she made me understand
she gave me the sight for my sore eyes

too bad the writer missed
out on all of my bliss
to toni can i one be as wise
