Vestige
I lost track of time
Trying to forget while living
I always wonder what could’ve been
But I know I’ll never get an answer
My brain has been empty for so long now
I can’t write any longer
I want to get back how easy it was
But I can’t seem to find any inspiration
Even in the sad days when I usually have a head on
Time went by so fast
Yet it feels like it’s still yesterday
I don’t know how I am anymore
I can’t even answer their “how are you’s”
Waking up at 2am just to stare blankly at the ceiling
Feeling completely shallow
It’s become a normal thing
But I know that it shouldn’t
Perhaps this will still go a long way for years to come
I’m defenceless with the things that can’t be undone
As it continues to swallow my colour
I’m working on with what’s left inside
Barely breathing
I’ll just wait until I get back with having a grip of my life
