Carousel

On this carousel

You and I

Ringing bells

Time passes by

Scorching bulbs

Ornate bobbing horsies

Enchanting music

Tell of magical stories

I am here

On this side

You are there

Same ****** ride

Opposite ends

Placed we two

We can't see

But each other we knew

Friendly peeks

Directed to you

All I could afford

Keep you in view

Still rotating

Ride goes on

Chasing each other

No closer we've drawn

Enjoy the ride

Soak in the sights

Hold at bay

Reality that bites

Thought about

Getting off

Don't know how to

Come to a solve

Can't hold still

It's eating me alive

Can't just stay

Have to strive

Hand still holding on

One foot dangling

Second thoughts play

But bent on releasing

Take the first step

Don't overthink

Take the leap

Step off the brink

Close my eyes

Time is now

Just let go

Fate I must allow

Ready now

Time came to a freeze

*one...two...

three...release*

Now off the carousel

Cloying uncertainty

Never been here

Unknown territory

In the music

Found familiarity

Unsure if here

Is where I want to be

What do I do?

Wait a little more?

Hop back on?

Or await what's in store?

Glad I waited

Glad patience I found

There you are...

Coming back round
