I sit on the bus that rides on my road
Dreary with excitement
Shimmery powdered eyelids dropping
Smelling the Japanese cheery blossoms
And I nod and smile
As he asks to sit next to
Me,
And I listen
To the bus with exhausted roars
Wielding the weight,
To the drums of the earphones sitting next to me
Beating like his heart rate.
I sit and try not to listen, as I watch the sun
beams
Glistening across my golden eyelids,
Dropping,
Until I cannot watch,
Until I sleep
In and out of the thoughts
That invaded my guarded mind,
Off of the routine road with the wind
That I was drifting on all the time.
I sleep for the thoughts that are blocked by
The sounds.
I wake for the hope,
the reality of you driving me around.
Take me straight out of town
Away, afar
From this busy, unwanted land.
Take me away,
Do not worry about the scars
Take me away,
Off of this routine road
I will not suffer
Of this, I know.
