The Ballad of A Frail Mind

“Are you afraid of being left behind?”
“No, it’s just temporary, I’m not lonely.” 
But abandonment issues aren't easy. 
Perhaps it’s called a frail state of mind.
A tragedy befallen upon mankind, 
Rehearsing while watching the phone ring,
Blind trust or do you question everything?
Lots of space, but you’re still confined.


“What is the reason for your misery?”
“It’s not only that but also agony”.
Much like a forgotten time in history,
Nothing special about this ceremony. 
Sometimes you’re calm but extremely jittery. 
Once again, all alone on your balcony.
