Carnivals

unprompted emotions being dealt with, an old conversation. Old friend, I thought I knew your intentions.

My moods are like rollercoasters

a simple cliché.

But I told you to prepare for this ride

I told you “after this, you may not wanna take a look inside”.

After that terrible night,

I am still standing here at the gate,

waiting to aboard my life.

You said you’d be there to see me off

just to make sure I was safe.

You said you’d wait for me

even if I was a little woozy.

Im here now

I got on the ride

it’s not too late to get away

go run and hide

didn’t I think about how it’d feel

when you took that advice?

it comes as no surprise

I am once again

sitting in my own demise.
