In my train of thoughts
I cannot breathe
so I sit next to you
while all the lovers clap their hands,
shake their heads,
dance sporadically,
laugh uncontrollably,
and watch me with despair
shackled in fragments of my past.
Don't let them engulf me
in a hope to be young again.
Don't let my sleepless nights take over me.
Let's just not travel too fast,
too far away from our homes.
Let's just sit here for a while
until I have relinquished all my thoughts
so I don't weave dreams with my open eyes.
So all my fears are dispelled.
Let me just keep myself where I am right now
And I think... I believe I will be okay.
