Spending my days pretending it's okay
Pretending you're still there
But you leave, and leave
And I'm vulnerable once again
"Keep it going, keep it going" I tell myself
Though I know it's pointless
You'll go, you always will
Where does that leave me?
7pm, I need a minute to myself
Lightning bugs and shooting stars
7:01 hits and further than ever
There is home
11 o'clock and I'm gripping the grass
Turning off the screen that forces the feelings out
Mosquito bites and eucalyptus oils
Knock me out with the demons in your mind
11:11 and everything's cold
Snowflakes fall with evening light
I don't want to feel the devil's kiss
I only ever wanted to pick up the pieces of my shattered heart.
(Inspiration: Reverie by Meltberry)
