Poetry For Everyday People
Broken Hours
I stand still
even though
my world is
on fire,
I stand still
even though
my heart is
exploding,
you know,
how it is,
nobody
wants to know
your troubles,
you don't wanna
burden anyone,
we kiss goodnight,
after a night of good drinking,
after we told each other:
all our secrets,
free for a moment,
but it's tomorrow,
and we just pretend,
as it crawls
all over us.
even though
my world is
on fire,
I stand still
even though
my heart is
exploding,
you know,
how it is,
nobody
wants to know
your troubles,
you don't wanna
burden anyone,
we kiss goodnight,
after a night of good drinking,
after we told each other:
all our secrets,
free for a moment,
but it's tomorrow,
and we just pretend,
as it crawls
all over us.
