Genesis

City sleeps but I'm wide awake; every promise begins to fade,
Every risk is a price I pay.
Her voice low like a distant sound,
Pulls me in when I'm breaking down; in her eyes I get lost,
Not found, spinning fast but I'm skyward bound.
Stay alert,
Never drop my guard; life's a game and a place too hard,
Built from dust but I dream of stars; still she's healing my hidden scars.
