Standby Lately
.. been witnessing life on standby lately
apprehensive of the next thing happening
would you care if I couldn't
sail through this one?
perchance, rekindle compassion.
oftentimes, memories linger.
yes, yours is one I will never sever
questions I wanna ask,
with silence as my mask.
love was when you held me,
but those shivers, now a distant memory.
unkempt, my box of trinkets
forlorn, boxed in your jargons.
Rescue me from my mellows,
For I've loved the stars too fondly,
to even let the night go.
