Segregated, solid, sectioned memories

Spare me the solitary moments

Separate this stoic sanity from me

Silence voices sounding alarms of safety

Shut up…

Inside my head are many things

Shattered and stolen from my dreams

Standing strongly as it seems

to the world outside.

Satisfy the secret desire

Step lightly on the wire

Say you love me.

Set your rated premonitions

Softly to the side

Sleep sweetly lying still

Slowly losing sight of the fear that has been

Shut up…

Segregated, solid, sectioned memories

Spare me the solitary moments
