lying on the  floor.
the red and brown rug itching at your skin.
sound escapes the speakers.
youre drowning in the songs.
your heart beats. chest tightens.
breathing get quicker.
you remember how to feel.
each song, each phrase.
the words make you feel again.
even if just for this moment of time.
before bed and the empty space.
you just want to hold their hand.
just have somebody to love.
all you need is love..
pools of sorrow, waves of joy.
but you get by.
you let it be and take your broken wings and learn to fly.

its really not all that bad..
