Days like this hold my mind What we left unfinished A time out in the corner flashes before my eyes When my first grade teacher forbade me from going outside But wouldn’t tell me what I had done wrong What had I done wrong?
Days like this hold my mind What we left unfinished I snuck out of bed at midnight A soft carpet welcomed my feet Promising a silence that wouldn’t disturb sweet lullabies I was watching with wide eyes, screaming within crowds Till it was over Why did it have to be over?
Days like this hold my mind What we left unfinished Loneliness is my greatest tragedy A malicious motivator Second place didn’t matter as long as I had a place You granted me moments But left me on the swing I walked home while the emptiness within my chest Mirrored the gray winter days Why did you leave me?
Days like this hold my mind What we left unfinished Umbrella abandoned by the ocean Little children collecting seashells An elderly batch are playing chess Until the sun sets But I’ll be sitting by the ocean As days like this hold my mind
