you can't see the bated breath in my lungsand i can't see the disgust on your mind
so i know that it's best left just as it is.
since it's always been up to me.
there's no sense in fueling a wild mind
because feelings sting like a frostbitten bitter tongue
and to call them back or chance to try
would only complicate an already addled life
it's hard to accept something so definite
rather than leave it open to suggestion
it's easier to speculate and wonder
rather than close the case, close the book and close my eyes
i put these dreams to bed by waking up
and try to remember throught the fog
the remnants that don't make sense
that travel in and out of focus.
this does not make me feel any more sane.
