An untouched textbook,
Youtube,
Flipping the lights
On and off.

Glances at a watch
And
Page 248.

A change
In sound.
Drums
Guitar
Violin
Piano
Changing
Way too quickly.

Words like,
"Stay"
"Feel"
"Time"
"Go"
"Moment"
"Wish"
"Skyline"
"World"
Music.

Mirror,
Clothes,
Heels,
Glitter.

Dancing
For no reason.

Another old dress,
Yellow light,
Another song.
Aching feet,
In the middle
Of the night.

Hair-
Curly,
Wet,
Braided,
Wavy,
All at once.

Pause,
Stop,
Think,
Of nothing.

Memory-
Laughter
Tears
Surprises
Growing up
Inevitabilities.

Shake your head,
Shake them thoughts,
Jumble them up,
Let them stay.

Colors

A textbook,
Face down.
Glanced at,
But
Unattended.

Unexplained giggling,
Another song
Words,
"Come and go"
"Understand".

Shake your head
Flyaway hair,
All over
Your face.

Fall back,
Like a child
Stare at the fan,
Mesmerised.

Eyes closed wide
Glassy,
Seeing,
And unseeing,
Colors
Around,
And inside.

"We're leaving things unsaid 
We sing ourselves to sleep
Watching the day lie down instead
And we are leaving some things unsaid
And we are breathing deeper instead"
- Unsaid, The Fray
