frozen in time
everything has stopped
i feel it all inside me
i am not void of it in any way
it’s all just so motionless
frozen in time
black coffee at midnight
strains my eyes open
scraping through my heart
breathing life into it
as I couldn’t in that dream
purple and motionless
ostracized through every door
threw me all off balance
bitter heat, dreading what is about to come
black coffee about to interrupt
the smell is lingering
and I can’t seem to wash it off
confusing doubt with nostalgia
counting the steps as the door is about to open
and it’s all over from here
Load it up…
