Sometimes, I sit there
and wonder. I think
as blue birds sing.
I get lost in thought
as church bells ring.
I drift away. I wonder
about things that
can’t be changed.
I wonder if I ever
broke out the cage.
I wonder about
the past. I remember
keeping track.
I wonder as rain
dances with thunder.
Sometimes, I sit there
and wonder. I forget
where I am. I fade
away before I
remember what
I was going to say.
Sometimes, I wonder.
Still. Silent. Content.
Sometimes, I wonder
where the time went.
For why must you need me to work at all?
Hiding in fear that you might not be used
Now I’m away, insisting that you call
Outside I’m fine, but my heart is now bruised
Someone else played you with the slightest care
Your soul is damaged because of abuse
From being complete to having no air
The machine is broken, bolts are now loose
I try to turn you on, but I can not
You glowed green before the years of torment
Your system was left on for now it’s shot
Safe to say that our time was very well spent
Now you’re dead with the circle in your eyes red
I send you away for my Xbox is dead
