the city of lights —
if you don’t watch out
it might just
swallow you whole
but then again
maybe it will anyways
the city of lights —
remember how lonely it felt?
as people passsed you by
but how beautiful to watch them
speed through their lives
how do I
become one of them?
the city of lights —
where resources are thin
where people are plenty
where quiet is not often heard
but somehow,
we found this alcove
I miss the shot
skyscrapers in the background
the water just at my feet
the ball bounces away
but the memory lingers
this city reminds me of a person I used to be
excitement I used to seek
places I was rushing to see
heart beating
young and naive
what I once loved, I can’t learn to hate
it’s conflicting to say
I miss her
brittany given.
