Stupid Me

by NikX   Jul 8, 2009


Do you how it feels?
When you can’t talk to anyone real
You stare at this lighted screen
Wishing to see a grin

But you see nothing
Not even a curve
What you see
They’re all just words

You ask what time is it
3:07 AM according to the screen
Your mind tells you to sleep
But your heart, it wanted to scream

Your heart remembered something
She threw it to your mind
“You’re stupid.”
Making you want to cry

In the past 90 minutes
You felt guilty for every word you've said
"It’s my fault, all my damn fault."
These phrases kept running through your head

Suddenly you want everything to be in rewind
Take back the words
Together with the feelings
Put them all aside

But then
3:21 AM. Your mind telling you to stop
“I want to go to sleep”
Don’t make me do another plop

Then your heart began to weep
“I’m tired too..”
“But how can you sleep?”
I can’t let this girl think so deep

“Let’s both ask her to sleep”
“In 1, 2, 3…”
Mind cleared.
Heart emptied.

Exactly 4:00 AM. Perth time.
The girl dozed off.

But the mind…
Left unscrewed.

The heart…
Still not sewn.

    Love this.

    Only suggestion is remove the ��s as they are quite distracting to a wonderful piece.

    Take care, Em
