carousel ride

by cbr

the generic classical piano recital song plays my failures sit upon each horse and my regrets are in the booth seats the beady eyes of the horses look right through my skin fiery red and fluorescent yellow lights spin as I looses focus of what is real The melody picks up and now upon each horse is sits all my past relationships spinning, up and down to the continuous flow of the musical beat my friend Cam is on this ride with me his smile reminds me to breathe he rotates around, he is no longer in sight there is a new horse in his position I am thrown into panic then the horses move to a slower pace the boys disappear all that is left is me the last three notes come to an end gracefully the ride stops abruptly and I halt forward grabbing my things as quickly as I can as I walk off in a sweat
