As the boat sails on the passing seas
As the women waits for a text she'll never receive
As the brain searches for a happy dream
As the streets silence with a hush
As the smile peels back it's clothes
And reveals the worst
As the
Sun rises to its high,
And as the lonely bird sits on the line.
As the little boy watches kids his age play
And as his grandfather watches him with an A
C h e.
And as I the outsider watches them with
an Ache.
As the tress gather their branches in for a hug
And as the cat searches for food
As the couples kiss with so much passion,
As the man who drives home goes with an excuse,
As the wife who falls for it thinking it's true
As the someone who thinks what it's like to be Love,
As the someone who thinks they don't need love,
But deeply wishes for it,
As the shadows lingers
A little longer
As the stars connect
As we made it past another day
As we think over on that day
As we gaze
As we shudder
As we lay
As we listen
To our breaths,
And the mouses
And the crickets,
As the tap drips
As the early birds sings
As the cry muffles
As the skin heals
As the knees Neal
As we sigh
As we pray
As we go in search for something
Anything that can spark a flame within our hearts,
And as the door squeaks on the floor
As the white noise brings comfort to some
As the chair who waits for time to celebrate none
As the world goes by
As we stop,
And look
And watch
Then walk away—
Doing the same
Every time-
Repeat repeat
As humans delete
From earth
Some remembered
Some forgotten even before dead
Came and turn off the light switch,
As the world unfolds
As ink stains blood
And envelope sealed
Sending wishes,
As the war continues
As we walk with grudges
As the moon glistens
As the people ignore
As the people acknowledge
As the media flooded
And as the creators comes with a plumber
As everything comes right back
Taking off a hat.
