The Calling
Screaming white
Leave me be
I will write
When I please
Only then
If you dance
I will spin
You romance
Screaming white
You're depressed
In the light
On my desk
Take my pen
So that you
Have a friend
That is blue
Screaming white
Even still
Comes your plight
Unfulfilled
In my hand
Ripped and torn
Now in strands
On the floor
