thoughts of what we've lost and gained
are twisting this allegory
onto itself
always tired
never resting
time was never an ally
we talk in soft voices
making efforts to push time
the inevitable forgone conclusions
slightly further out of sight
it's working from where I sit
even sadness is warm and familiar with you
the numbness is gone
instead awakened is dormant passion
unfamiliar enthusiasm
appreciation for mundane drones and routine
i've never been so fucking happy sitting next to someone on a bus
i see four stars from where I’m sitting
please tell me you can see them too
remind me you’re on this earth with me
we hold on to
each dying second
savouring moments
sticking memories
on our walls
not forgetting
not forgetting
when waiting vacant expectations
pull my nerves
the complex puppetry of trembling limbs
in continuum
every second away from you
i'm consumed
mesmerised by memories
tripping over expectations
wasting time never felt so productive
bright lights masking past struggles
Tendencies for melodrama foster apprehension
I remember lies I told myself to create fantasies
where all happiness is fiction
naive pursuit leaves me depleted
deconstructing feelings
thinking about thinking
and writing about writing
but time is fluid
thoughts come easier
like cones were stoned stones you've thrown
away and further than I thought
no longer do i easily find inspiration
defaulting to self pity
fuck wallowing in tears shed
over an unwillingness to let go
step outside
come with me
we hold on to
each dying second
savouring moments
sticking memories
on our walls
not forgetting
not forgetting

climbing and searching
leaving never having found
what they came for
only bodies remain
trust bonds
without words
i am not..
minds are melting
never finding solace
others take the pain lightly
losing track of tracks
holding grudges
minds set in stone
losing hope
they've forgotten how we got there
decisions made without thought
in moments they're lost
they want justice
just want to end this
but she has no power here
i'm lost in this mess
you can't talk the bullets out
