Searching

A Poem by Ashley Blair

Happy tastes like a foreign land
And I'm wanderlust
I try to form it with my lips
The ones you kiss
And it comes slowly
Shockingly
A new substance in my body
Like the way
I say mom
Like the way she left me 
My sadness seems to lie
Evermore in the grave it's dug
For me 
Spray painting roses black 
Because it says I'm destined to be 
Bleak and weary 
But maybe 
It's because
This melancholy is blind
It doesn't realize
I have a light
My heart bleeds
Even in the sheets
Rising to the surface of my 
Paper thin body
But my happiness always
Realizes 
It's home
Is inside
Of your eyes

It was really a emotional read at the end but those last few lines very really amazing...

But my happiness always
Realizes
It's home
Is inside
Of your eyes

It always pleasure finding love for you in someones eyes! Very nice poem...
