Attempting Poetry..

Another 24hours poured into the cement.
Living through our regrets.
Just one piece of a puzzle, too big to comprehend
Can’t see the end.

In the past the future looked too far to hold.
And now the present seems to close and cold.

I’m speaking to the world but I’m the only one in it.
Your eyes couldn’t watch the way the world spins.
I’ll sit here and watch until the world ends.

And I feel like I’ve lived with myself too long.
This isn’t the right time for these words.
We don’t have the right kind of space for these birds.
If we all could fly
If we all could cry
Everybody would laugh, and I would die.
