liquid emotions steam up to the sky
clouds of vivid memories
getting rid of all that is too heavy to carry
following the whisper of the wind
tears of the gods on my window
running down the mirror of my soul
to drop back into the sea
where they once emerged
beams of artificial light strike my eyes in
steady, rhythmic sequences
overwhelmed by the weight of memory
afraid of what is yet to come
endless beauty and endless dreams
restless soul and restless feet
helpless child and helpless dreams
you are standing still
waiting for the traffic lights to turn green
your thoughts start to rush like the cab that
just picked you up
unpatiently waiting for things to finally go
your way
but you are in no control
you never were
I know it’s hard for you
to look at your dreams collapsing in front of you
I know exactly how that feels
trust me
you feel like you ran out of luck
out of hope
out of trust
and out of love
the door is slowly closing and all you can do
is watching it happen
feel the pain, it’s okay
enjoy the last moments of your dream
maybe one day you’ll wake up and realize
there never was a door
you see that green light?
you can go now
