2020: EXcess Baggage

8 0 0
                                    

I left the scars alone

I ignore the swollen parts of my bones

As I walked to enter the line,

of the worlds that separate us

I looked back and realized

what memories to keep

I found myself smiling

I decided to keep you in my heart

Even the universe is against us

Even this baggage is heavy and tiresome

Even if I'm hopeless

Even you've found much better

Even if you chose to let go

Even if I cry all alone

I'll keep you in my belongings

If I hold unto you and someone takes you

I'll wait until I have the right to get you

Now it's time to watch you from afar

Look in the window of a flying airplane

Thinking of better things to shine
