Chapter 51: so many miles

bloodredroses | poetryWords: 1475

Everything I want I have and at the same time I don't:

spend most of my time lately

up at night dissolving in thoughts and poetry -

it's kinda my favourite thing to do;

and I think I've lived so many lives,

ever since.

pretty surreal

how time flies,

passes us by

just so fast;

so many miles,

so many miles...

I keep remembering

of when I was a child,

of how I used to paint a lot of pictures in my room,

just to pass the time

until you'd get back from shopping groceries...

and at night, if you didn't get back by nine,

I used to paint as I was crying

and I used to smile,

'cause we were wild

and everything was new;

and somewhere along the lines,

sometimes,

I just kinda wish I could be rediscovering,

all of that and everything...

And I just keep remembering

how we were sitting on our balcony,

listening to cds of old rock and reggae

and it hits me just so strangely,

oh how many miles it would take for me

and a time machine

to get back to that -

and so I just sit still and breathe

along to those same old tender melodies,

hoping I might find something.

And I stay up at most nights lately

sinking into thoughts and poetry -

it's kinda my favourite thing to do;

and it hits me just how strangely

so many miles,

so many miles

can all be

contained in just one body.

time is really the strangest thing and it just keeps on fascinating me...
