One, two, three.
Oh, hello I didn't see you there.
Hi my dear.
Four, five, six.
Hey, how are you today?
Yo what have you been up to?
Seven, eight, nine.
I wonder if you remember me.
I remember then.
I remember now.
Ten, and more.
I've been counting.
All the wholes I've stared at.
Very time I feel this way.
I remember all the things.
I don't want to.
But here I lay.
Staring up at you, my ceiling.
Hello....
I know every time I see you.
It's never good.
I want to be happy but I know when I see you.
I'm sad.
I'm thinking.
About things I've done.
And not done.
But no amount of words.
Could stop me from doing this.
Looking up at you.
It's a nightmare or a dream.
Yes, a nightmare.
Couldn't be anything else.
It's a nightmare staring at you.
Up there.
I see you.
I talk to you.
But nothing happens.
what am I thinking.
Something happening.
No way.
I must stop this.
I'm going to sleep now.
Goodnight my ceiling.
