Over the years I have managed to forget a lot of things Forgetting things has become a habit now..
However, some pain I have carried for so long That it’s embedded in the layers of my flesh and bone
It’s like living in a house made of wood But the wood is rotten and it's reeking Of distant memories
It’s like living in a dream Fleeting glimpses From unknown sources
Helplessly looking at familiar faces No words ever come out of our mouths We stare at each other, sometimes with a smile Then we sigh, and we look away
Still, sometimes you just can’t help but feel lucky to be alive
It’s a strange feeling The ocean visits me in my dreams The only uninvited guest that can bring so much joy
But when I visit the ocean I get overwhelmed by the vastness of it It has the power to devour the earth anytime
The wait … is what kills me Nothing ever happens I break, I shatter I crumble, I collapse.
