Indeed this world is less than wonderful
The wrong place and the wrong time is what seperated us
Years from now I will not remember crying my fifteen years worn heart in the school bathrooms,
Oh they were filthy
For now I barely remember the night at 1am my former best friend supported me through my breakup with him,
I was 13,
But perhaps I am more optimistic than I was then,
Or I just cover my pessimism well with false optimism,
You love me?
I did expect that and I apologise,
I cannot love a mortal,
For my pessimist says the world is much less than wonderful,
And my optimist scratches my back and into me places silvery strands of memories,
The wandering scent of rain making its way to my nose,
The crunch of autumn leaves underfoot,
Random smiles,
Sipping coffee and awakening my senses,
Remember love, my innocent child?
It is far from us now,
We are free to run miles in the country,
Or to contain ourselves in our private space,
Introversion is what calms me,
Extroversion sets my soul aflame,
Dancing, smiles, close to each other, the smell of sweat,
Or just small talk in a large circle,
But halt my child,
Put up your wall as you never did before
