Tethered To a Moment

You keep me running around, on this never ending merry go round. The carousel stopped, and I hopped off. I began to get sick, so I thought really quick. One more time on the merry go round, will help my stomach settle down. I tell the conductor one more time, he said, “that’s okay there is no line.” So, I never hop off no matter how dizzy I get, because once it stops, I know I’ll get sick. This isn’t healthy, but that's okay. Maybe one more time will take the pain away. We’re going in circles, just like you used to say. One more time on the merry go round, will make the pain go away.
