Song of the nightingale Mixes my ginger ale Sink faucet water drops Mirror props No one to cuddle in these idle hours My esteem tastes sour My heart, it shrank My eyes, they sank In this frigid dark It is not pain It is not lame View these as plain For me, I feel like I am to be blamed How to mouth an emotion When my mind is not in motion My body in supine position ****** my heart strings Can you still hear them tugging, running Because I cannot My ears must be deafened by the waves The only sound right now is the metronome in the monochrome My silhouette dancing in this lone haze Touch me, I fracture How to not be unfazed When I am born with a daze Do I still remember the days When I do not wake up in this blankΒ Β gaze Bypass me as a slate Think until I used up space Draws my face Even when there are a lot swimming this way I am faltering, fading away In these invisible blows That keep getting close When I want them to be far away Yet the holes are nowhere Yet the roots are null Dew's breath caress through my skull In what way to lull Who knows What tomorrow holds For I am idling in hours
