Or did I?
when a memory comes upon
I become motionless
I pause as my body drips like rain in a pond
It has my attention
I feel the happiness drift out my eyes
It’s radiating
It anchors my head down
Like a dummy attached to a string
I so badly want to cry
But my body stays hollow
Am I shallow?
But my body doesn't feel
I’m empty like a vase
I try to convince my brain to lie
But it's too aware
I want to hit the ground and kneel
I just want to feel
But lying doesn't help
Why would it?
I take tonight and sit in my silence
It's quiet
I'm waiting for the magical balance
I wanna be ready
I feel as my days turn into nights
The shadows blend in
And my nights become the empty
I'm lonely
The lights are flickering
I’m losing my sights
I'm drifting away like a raft in the ocean
There's no stopping it
I can't see my dock
It disappeared
Or did I?
