Book of you and I
by Zahra’A Abid
Sometimes late at night
Our memories sneak out my eyes
They drift down my cheek
Carfully disguised
Because under it all
The pain the sadness
Lives a new book
Im not ready to open it
Im not ready to end the book of you and I.
Maybe one day our memories
Will hide in my smile
Only really coming out
When it’s worthwhile
Maybe sometime far in the future
Or not far at all
All I know is
Life shouldn’t feel like a free fall
So every I look out my window
Amd my soul travels so high
Underneath everything
Thats my only escape
Your still my disguise
The book of you and I
A way to hide
A way to subdue feelings Im not ready to feel
A way to cry
Or maybe it’s a way to finally feel
The book hasnt finished
The book of you and I
Becuase after everything is over
I should be alright.
It should be a happy ending
Carfully hidden
But no disguise
It cant end
Not when I’m sitting with my guitar and tears in my eyes.
Your almost a weapon
Because you don’t even exist
Just somethjng in the mirror
Clenching your fists
Something feeding me lies
Shape shifting into my eyes
Changing how I see everyone
Especially me
And convincing me i meed a disguise
And so I’ll hide from the book of you and I
Maybe I’ll smile
Maybe I’ll laugh
Maybe I’ll teach
Maybe I’ll live.
But my disguise is fighting to replace me
And it hides in the book of you and I
And THATS why it’ll never be over
No matter how hard I try
It’ll never be over.
Because I see it every time I look in the mirror
Or on my wrists
On my thighs
And under the scars which lie on
My skin.
Constantly crawling at the memory,
The memory.
The book of me and I
