Afraid to live

~ W. Donovan ~ Leave a comment

Okay, I’ll be there.
I’ll sit in the corner
so that nobody could see me.
I’ll be looking at you
behind the curtain
so that you couldn’t see me.
Just don’t come closer
Just don’t say anything to me
‘Cause I’m gonna have to say something
and I’ll ruin everything.

I look through the glass
only
talk to you in my mind.

Okay, I’ll be there.
I listen from far away
to things you want to say.
I laugh quietly
at every funny word you say
enjoy your every following day.
Then, I could imagine
I’m the part of your life
and it’s me who you see every morning.

I look through the glass
only
talk to you in my mind.

Run

Yesterday, I was laughing with him
and you were happy with her.
I thought,
this was right.
But now, I don’t know what to do.
I don’t know what to tell him.

We shouldn’t do this.
I tried to explain to him
but I don’t know what’s going on.
It’s like suicide.
Can we go back in time?

I wanted to fix it,
like you, you came back.
But she left you alone
and he doesn’t want to forget.
Now, I’m running from ourselves.
Nobody is with me.

We shouldn’t do this.
I don’t know, how this could happen.
It’s like a horrible nightmare.
We should run now.
Can we run from ourselves?
