jellyfish hearts

shelved

i've been shelved
like a finished book
collecting dust
forgotten at the back

the light barely shines on me
i blend right in
there was never a maid
dust settles in, ready to hibernate

i've been shelved
like a goddamn cuckoo clock
or maybe a snow globe
i feel like i'm trapped inside one

shake it a little
tilt me upside down
watch the snow fall all around me
but you'll have to tip it again

i've been shelved
when you flip the snow globe
like an hourglass
time restarts

but i'm never brought back
from the glass
the world just revolves
not around me of course

i've been shelved
i'm just stuck here
while the world keeps fucking
spinning
