Stays in VegasA Poem by CzarinaBut it didn't happen here, it just followed me.Caught a plane across the United States Lucky me, I got hold of a window seat Let's watch the cities shrink into fireflies Below pink clouds look like cotton candy Wow, the air is hotter than imagined This city sure likes its neon lights “Hey, aren't you enjoying yourself?” That time the camera flashed a little too bright Back aching against the hotel mattress My eyes feel dry Say that a plane engine exploded and set ablaze All of the people would die up here in the sky So what if I never touched the ground again? Would that really be the end of the world? But I heard, “Never mind, don't think like that” “I've seen too many nights that end in flames” “If you can take in just an ounce of air” “Tomorrow will not seem as dreadful” Drifting somewhere along the Pacific Stars make up the sidewalk I walk on How can the sky seem to be so blue? To be honest I kind of miss those oak trees Eat and drink with all that you have left That is all everyone can do here Isn't that boring after not too long? Now my head is rolling in the sea foam I cannot help but remember Why I cannot go home Say that an island rose up out of nowhere And this floating city sunk like a pebble What if we all become lost like Atlantis? Maybe I will find something better in the deep My cell phone is singing that sad tune Say that I never replied to you My cell phone is singing that sad tune Say it's another one of those emails My cell phone is singing that sad tune Say that this is why things are the same My cell phone is singing that sad tune Say that now is when it starts to hurt My cell phone is singing that sad tune Say that nobody said I love you My cell phone is singing that sad tune Say I think I already lost you too Say that what I knew was as fake as this place Did I always think I would fall for it everyday? I know, I know, I know, and can't deny anymore I can never go back, never Go back, never Never go back But I heard, “Please, don't say those things” “Somebody needs you where you came from” “It would be rather sad to never leave” “Whatever happened stays but can still change” © 2016 Czarina |
