Half-waking, half-sleeping, half tomorrow;
Apollo’s beams dance on half a face,
I mourn the morning, as only borrowed,
The day shines but partially on our embrace.

Ignoring that honest solar trail,
From time and space I remove my heart;
Too inconstant and too apt to fail,
Too rapturous upon each bright new start.

Yet I know, of course, that the sun will rise,
And with each new dawn our parting advances,
Never again to see the sun in your eyes,
I hope to remember fleeting glances.

Ephemeral spheres of moments together
Burst like stars and then are gone forever.

Lock yourself away
For another day
When you're all alone
In a crowd of strangers

Just you*
In a city unknown
With strange faces,
Strange expressions,
Strange thoughts

Save yourself for another day
When you can just let it be
No fear of being recognised
Rules over you
And your life

So you can stay
Silent, standing
Or even sitting
On *****, dismal streets

People will have the same reaction
As the place you were in before
But they won't know you

So keep yourself away
For a day
When you can be
