little dramas

looking at the ending
a new beginning 
in a newer shade of light
never felt more myself 
when I was by your side

little dramas used to mean
no thing
but it gets kind of old
left alone out in the rain

you used to stain my cheeks
need no makeup for that
just the joy of you in the room
now I'm just a ghost of white
the color died
way back

winter left his mark in place
no shelter for that steel
that residue of you was long erased
by rage and overdue undue bills

little dramas, pretty pills
you would never dance with me
said you never will
need new words to throw at me
I'm trading mountains for new thrills
the house you crave to rule
you will never build
little dramas, indigo battlefields
