LAILA'S BLOG

i sit against a wall

my knees to my chest

i give it my all

for a wink of rest

eyes gazing forward in desperation

the memory of you making me numb

i don’t think of you with admiration

but how you made me blind, deaf, and dumb

Madness tiptoes up behind me

He whispers in my ears to wait for the sunrise

Because he fears he could be silenced in my dreams

Infiltrating my sanity and taking my brain for his own

I am thrown into the back of my own mind

Chaos bounds my hands and Absurdity swallows the key

I hear the sinister laughter echoing from my bones

I have been engulfed by Madness

seventy percent

is the time we spend depressed

waiting for weekends

just thirty percent happy

how do we become fulfilled

i look at myself

the reflection feeds me lies

yet i am still me

You were born a princess of Russia

But you can be my queen of music and beauty

Listening to your voice can drive me to tears

Yet I want to hear you sing in the City of Love

And for your poetry to whistle between your teeth

Making its merry way through my ears

I would like to attend one of your extravagant mansion parties

So we can sneak away and keep our love unspoken

I can relieve the pressures of you being under such suspicion

By helping you travel thousands of miles away

With our love unbroken

With my head in the clouds and my feet on the ground
I open my eyes and take a look around
And I see angels
But they look nothing like you
And I swear that’s true

I see stars in your eyes and fluorescent lights
I look at you like I look at the moon
And I see my guide
Through the darkest nights

My brain runs a thousand miles
I can feel my skin tingle with a sort of nervousness
And I stumble on my words but you soothe me with a kiss
I see those lips
And such beauty

I see stars in your eyes and fluorescent lights
I look at you like I look at the moon
And I see my guide
Through the darkest nights

Finally, the night has come
I grab your hand and we look up above
And we see the galaxy
But it doesn’t compare to you
And I swear its true
