.
Seems much smaller than I had imagined.
It only stretches as far as my eyes could
see.
It reeks of the past, with no hints of the
future.
The present is here, the present is me.
My world tonight...
Sees me nestled,
watching silent but with mind
dishevelled...
Unnoticed on this kerb...
Unnamed and unlabelled.
My world tonight...
Is filled with familiar strangers,
ushering their lives along.
I know their faces but not their names.
I'd call this home but I don't belong.
My world tonight...
Is spinning regardless...
It stays on track.
Never waits for me.
Never looks back.
My world tonight...
Has no intention to soothe my thoughts.
It is baring its bite...
It's leaving me far behind...
But I'll catch up at the break of light.
As I always do...
