My mind is crowded with ’90s tunes,
My brain cells feel like dried-up prunes.
When I woke up, it was 2:00,
I was reminded of someone’s face\u2014not new.
I couldn’t recollect who,
And even if I do,
I’ll pretend it wasn’t you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sleeping inside a nightmarish room
Felt like soaring through an afternoon with no moon.
All I need is the cold showers of monsoon
To escape from memories that
Pierce me like a harpoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I want to take a stroll on the shores of the Caribbean Sea,
Holding a bottle of Bacardi to set my thoughts free\u2014
Love and liquor feel quite the same to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Time to wake up
Before my feelings blow up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfinished dishes in the sink,
Fake scenarios are all I can think.
I don’t know which one to clean first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Too many painful thoughts
Breaking my heart,
Smiling even when it hurts.
My head is too noisy\u2014
Just like
A rock metal concert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Songs push me to take a trip down memory lane,
The past always makes me reach out for a pack of smokes.
Tar-filled lungs,
Nicotine stains all over my tongue.
I am okay as long as my feelings have gone numb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At times, I wonder\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why was I moving closer to a place
Where I don’t belong?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It felt like writing feel-good lyrics
For a heartbreak song.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
