neon lights

[blackice216]

I flash like a neon sign
right before his eyes
but he has no use for me
and looks right past me
into the black and blue
of the bruised up world
where he in some way
finds eternal happiness
and I don’t get how
because I can’t see it
I don’t even know who can
but he seems to be able to
and ignore me in the process
he does not truly believe
in what I have to give him
but I hope he someday will
for it is as clear as my neon sign
hanging round my neck
shoved coldly in his face
by my fury and frustration
but in the back of my now numb mind
I find it is no use to temp
For he will not be tempted
By my silly naive games
And to simple to be true
Ways of living of so dangerously
But the fear still lurks inside of me
That when I may give up
He sees the my neon light
Which is quickly fading out
but I have no more light to give
To him at least no light will be shed
And I may turn to another
But fear not, for those who need light
Will turn on those who give it
