I hide my heart in a skeleton closet My arm fat is melting into lumps of grease How long does it take to be human? I'm waiting. Don't look at me with so much pity Don't look at me Please. I've lost my watch, long ago When I wanted to be a mother of two Now I am not even a child What will I do with this massive room? The rickshaw outside moves, empty Sullen afternoon in a winterscape How to mourn something never started Sunlight frozen on an unborn day?
The melody of love songs from decades ago
Curl around my ears and ask,
When will you fall in love?
Ringing laughter from sitcoms on TV
Knock on my eyelids as well,
When will you laugh as much?
I am just beginning to live
Perhaps I need my cocoon much more
Much longer than I knew
I see the sun shining and the cat licking its paw
I feel the joy of eating a candy
And throwing the wrapper into the bin
Which falls on the floor instead,
I see, hear and I love
Conversations with myself,
My dreams
My life inside my head.
It’s still a life worth living
Curled up in your bed.
