stuck on an island
All I need is a blanket to wrap my thoughts with
to comfort them from loneliness.
It's the same invading loneliness
that makes people speak empty lines,
listen to empty music,
and watch empty television.
All I need is a blanket to keep my thoughts warm,
when the cold of the night seeps through
with memories of the
what used to be.
The same memories were happier
before the loneliness settled in
when people settled out.
All i need is a blanket for my thoughts to clutch to
when life is reminding them of the
absence of the presence.
It was the present that had invoked in them
a feeling of completeness,
when memories were full and happier.
