“Remember when we were happy and carefree
and laughed at Eric in class?”
Where did those days go?
or was it us who left?
“We are not laughing enough”
Laughter can hurt
so it doesn't come around if there is already pain
“We started paying rent”
Yes we did and we started measuring our dreams
with our hands
the (wo)man of our dreams had appeared and left and appeared and left and appeared and left and still it wasn't them
we felt our dreams had lied to us
and had the nerve to stay on in our face
telling us that it was our fault
that we didn’t dream new dreams
and when we dreamt new dreams
it was a dream in the old dream
and we cut our hair
grew it
hated it
and loved it the next day
we confuse our dreams
as our dreams play with our freedom
maybe we stopped laughing because we stopped dreaming
maybe we stopped laughing because we stopped looking for Eric
too many favorite lines to choose from
ReplyDeletebut these i loved...

And these too
"...we felt our dreams had lied to us
and had the nerve to stay on in our face

I can almost feel the frustration.
