I'll be Alright
I'm no one's love story
My words spiral back to me
My love letter never reach the right address
I sing my love poems apologetically
As if this piece of broken links
that connects me to feelings that are forbidden
Isn't even mine to give
To others
But I borrow time from people
To recall the memories that
I pray I didn't waste
My lifeline is short
I already got my heart broken twice
Another punch lends itself on my face
In the usual fights where I'm beating myself
On days I can't bear my own presence
I need someone
To witness my traumatic episodes of
Shaking furiously every time
The similar nightmares chase me around
I put ice cubes on my tongue
And numb my feelings as I swallow
My sentences with a smile
I am not asking for a love that lasts eternity
But hold me for just another second
Just read one more line where I distract you
With my metaphors
I don't want to be lonely with myself tonight...
