If clouds are covering the sky,
How am I supposed to see
Your beautiful star eyes?

She does seem quite rigid,
Truth be told

But I assure you, my dear
She has a heart of gold

Heartfelt words
Flow out of my mouth
In perfect harmony
With yours

Even though
You haven’t done anything for me
I would do anything for you
Is that weird?
That someone who seems
To not care about me at all
Is one of the someones
That I care about so much
That I would die for them

Emergency
Evacuate
Smoke
Evacuate
Blares the smoke detector in my room
I rush out of my bed
Eyes as wide as a deer in the headlights
When I find my mom
Frantically checking for any signs of fire
And though there are none,
The incessant voice keeps repeating
Emergency
Evacuate
Smoke
Evacuate
Oh how I wish it would stop!
My stomach starts to feel queasy
And a cold sweat breaks out
All over my body
Suddenly the world begins to spin
And my mom just catches me
As I fall helplessly to the ground
“Head down, keep your head down”
She says
I wrap my arms around her legs
And try to make my breathing even again
When I feel a bit better,
I get up and walk to the couch
I lay down and cover my ears
Ah, sweet relief
I hear voices
And suddenly, it stops
For a moment, I am ecstatic
But then
The awful noise starts right back up again
I hear more voices
And soon enough,
It stops
And finally
It is done
I head upstairs
And lay in my bed
It’s all done, Lilah
It’s all done
No need to worry anymore
Zzzzzzzzzzz.......
