Five AM

Oh no.

 

Here I go again

I don't know what it is,

and I sure as hell don't know where to begin.

And who would've thought

I would allow myself to fall in a pit so deep?

Who would've ever thought,

I would ever have allowed myself to consider that leap?

 

Foolish, foolish, foolish girl.

So silly to ever believe

That you and I could ever be,

But that's what foolish, silly girls get,

For wearing their gold hearts on their sleeve.

 

But wait,

I am confused.

 

What is my next move?

And what have you got to prove?

 

Sometimes I find myself,

frolicking in my own day dreams,

and I don't know what it is,

but I know it isn't what it seems.

 

Is it all that I wanted?

What about you is so surreal?

I'm trapped between conversations,

and I know this isn't what I feel.

 

 

I feel so...

 

odd.

 

Peculiar.

Out of breath.

 

Tearing apart my mind -- chasing something,

but I don't understand what it is you left.

 

This isn't like myself,

to dream of such a sudden death.

 

Round one and I'm winning,

Round two and you take the lead,

Round three is what I'm hoping for,

 

Round three is what I need.

 

Aimless, curious, content,

The things that flutter about my mind,

I know my words don't always make sense,

But I am stuck in a giant bind.

 

Please don't mistake me for thinking,

anything is more than what it is,

Repeated words and phrases,

Repeated stories and repeated praises,

 

I am so lost,

And so keen on knowing why our paths have crossed.

 

Am I making this up?

Am I really dreaming this dream?

Wake me up please.

 

It's five AM and

I'm sinking.
