Qui vivra verra
There’s nothing quite like
Feeling the warmth of the sun across my skin
As I dance freely in the stage light of day
Performing for an audience of two:
Myself and the giddy sun
Smiling at happy little rainbows
As they shimmer across soap bubbles
Sliding down my hands
Gaily plopping onto dirty dishes
Watching night lights of the city sea
As each one glitters before my eyes
Twinkling with the stars above
Blinking sweetly back at me
Because for months on end
I couldn’t escape you
Even in the depths of my dreams
My cruel unconscious
Forced me to see
You drive us off a cliff
Into the raging oceans
Of my own tears
With my hands tied
In the passenger seat
Roped up by my own mind
As I sunk into the darkness
Yet, one night
I faced you
And this time
I sat behind the driving wheel
I drove us to a safe place
And gave you a piece of my mind
So that you could give me back the piece that you owned
And, finally, leave me alone
