Perpetual

Perpetual

The world is currently in fast forward

And I am stuck in slow motion

I sit staring at your ghosts

The memories of what used to be

I am like a record droning away in the same spot

Over and over

I removed the trinkets of love we cherished

Trying to erase the reality of tomorrow

But now, I am just haunted by the blank spaces

I fight between silence and the radio

But both beat me into tearful submission

I know I must move on

I know my next moments are faced alone

Without you

I know what I shouldn’t be doing

And yet here I am

The world is currently in fast forward

And I am stuck in slow motion

I sit staring at your ghosts

The memories of what used to be
