london’s blue sky
the trees are losing their limbs
i wanna feel high
can you get hallucinations
from a tooth infection?
cars passing cold winds
foggy roads and strangers’ smiles
now everything seemed like a short film
winter wonderland and the busy bus ride
birmingham to norwich and back again
i used to love singing in the car
but now i wanted to crash into one.
i remembered walking
and looking at the clouds
so happy that I would dance
with my fingers in the pockets
so no one would see
hey, that doggo looked so pleased
maybe he would notice me and bark
i crave attention when being ignored
and shy away from constant affection
do i need to be tortured to feel alive?
my tears dried before i knew it
fragile like a snowflake
one touch and i turned into water
flowing down your cheeks
pretending to be a tear drop
wishing i tasted like the ocean
hoping i was more pretty, more fun
laughing when i felt the most pain
and crying when i was the most happy.
t.l.
thank you Jelin for being my friend.
