Allowing the dust to settle
And the hovering mist to part
You can't live inside of my mind,
There's more space for you in my heart
I keep myself busy to stay aflame
While the world slowly turns
I'm sprinting through days that blur
And suffering through the burns
Toggling between elation and insecurity
Emotions aren't permanent, only temporary
Experience has taught me everyone goes eventually
Resilient to adversity shrouding me
In its tethering web of prickly hairs
Mourning the nascence of elation
And all of the splendor it bewares
A cocktail of hormones straight to the dome
Nostalgia hitting in waves
Dragging me back in time to those hopeless romantic days
