She wonders
why the music
had to end
and if the dance
will begin again
The lyrics play
over and over
in her mind,
yet the melody
remains silent
for a lifetime

I lost my head in the clouds
idling somewhere unknown
My heart almost fell too
but I caught it just in time
Reflexes have improved
but there’s no other option
If sanity serves to stand a chance
they certainly can’t worsen
I wonder about my mind
why I had no control
and how it felt detached
acting on its own
It’s crazy how it perceives
only what it chooses
but sometimes that can be
the cause of me losing
I dare to say my world is fine
and the big sky is still clear
No stormy weather predicted
and my vision no longer obscure

(Currently fiction but can you relate?)
With paled eyelids
no tears confined
where love once was
is no longer blind
but clear and coarse
it pierces the heart
resembling a war
of two worlds apart

It took some strength
to part the heavy curtains
of manipulated visions
and clouded thoughts
of the duo in my head,
how ridiculous I’ve been
My heart soon would be
placed in the warmth
of your hands
but this central part of me
felt the chill instead and
before my head went under,
I realized your true colors
