Doves and Ashes

Trust me, I know
I don't open up much
You haven't been wrong
I don't do well with touch

A darkened dove looking for peace
But I can't beat my wings
Without a cloud of ash trailing behind
In my eyes and my teeth
But it's always in my reach
Making me mute and blind

The ruin I've flown away from
Comes along anyway
The lullaby I've always hummed
Made me sleep my life away

So I will grow
Twenty-five years of held back tears
Have started to show
I'll need some help
To bring out the simplest parts of myself

So take me as your darkened dove
Bring me the peace that I've always loved
In a way that it won't just crumble to dust
I've always been known to rust

I've always been known to rust.
