When my brain won’t go to sleep
When my heart just feels too weak
When my sadness seems too deep
When my eyes begin to leak
......That’s when I turn to poetry

And everyone around me is running with scissors
Like I’m not already filled with existential dread
Like I won’t unravel at the sight of their clippers

But there’s no way of erasing you

I know you can’t live in the past but I was happy there
When time’s always racing against you the rules are unfair

Running away from the best thing ever put in your path
Do us both a favor and make sure you never look back
