    Kinda long..

    On the Equator

    Much danger came in the form of the masked rapidly forming lies
    To which the tears that I had shed did not hide
    A relationship lost and while a journey comes to replace it
    I just don't know if I can even face it

    To question everything
    I want to know why all red birds sing
    Why the desperate soul floats
    Down a lonely stream without a boat

    What happened to the girl that didn't care what people thought of her?
    Did she adapt a different attitude or did she change?
    I remember the times we had talked in a dark and dusty room
    Thoughts that we shared, a sense of togetherness

    I wonder where she is now
    Because I can't seem to forget her
    The comfort that she had given me
    Strength when I was the most weak

    Most days I had sat alone in a room that was painted a sky blue
    Those walls reflected my feelings, that horrible sick grief
    I think that part of myself had died in there
    But I think that part of me was born there too

    While a sigh had escaped her
    I had taken the time to kiss her
    And I had laughed at how she had blinked
    A sense of togetherness

    It was at the end of the year and my grades could not be transferred
    I had just moved there but it was meaningless
    At school my mind had floated idlely behind an empty desk
    There was not any reason to really stay

    And yet I wish that I had
    Even though she told me that it was okay
    Its kind of painful to think about
    That red scar that's bleeding blue

    While its the sunlight that shines through the gaps of some white curtain blinds
    There is only a sadness that shines through me
    I'll try to write a narrative so I can put these thoughts at ease
    And begin to climb towards that far sinking sun

    Her favorite song dances
    But in a far and delicate breeze
    That I've come to think of as despair
    That Grey cloud called memory

    And now that old blue sky is the reflection in a deep blue sea
    Now my thoughts are floating on the equator
    Even though I miss her so much I feel a sense of weightlessness
    Because I've finally took an step forward

    Lighter than I was before
    Trying to find my identity
    Like being pulled by a distant moon
    My heart's become magnetic

    Emotions played like the G chord vibrating though a steel pitch fork
    I think that I've found my soul in its echo
    And the soft starlight that illuminates its dim transparency
    And now its a soft calmness that shines through me

    Setting the path to walk on
    Laying down the foundations to call upon a new hope
    I'm being pulled by a distant moon
    As auburn light beacons me

    It is a bit long, but at the same time I think this is some of your best work and that you did well within the structure that you decided on.
