Tick tock And the days pass by. What am I doing But letting it. Some call it depression. I called it an impasse All the pawns are set to place No one moves And no one gets hurt. But I linger in my bed Half asleep, half awake As your scent passes Through the hallways of my memory. Or is it my insanity? The warmth of hands caressing me And children singing Of the sleeping beauty. Am I asleep, awake or just crazy? There is only so many closets to clean Yet mine just keep pouring Their quite strange contents. I woke up unable to move mostly My arm slowly rising in the air As though I was to touch the ceiling And the voice of a polite little boy “When you come down We’d like to know how you’ve come to levitate” The memory of the will to kiss him We were only children... Children’s dreams... Yet I still have no wings to fly And the child within me must obey. People don’t really fly, do they...?
