Hey,
Those balloons are floating away,
Stop them!
They are going to leave me,
Alone,
As always,
By myself,
I still find it enjoyable at times,
But,
After you,
I don't enjoy it for as long as I used to,
Alone is empty,
Cold,
Distant and dark,
Alone is a sink full of dirty dishes,
And a dripping faucet in the middle of the night,
I see others,
But they don't matter to me,
Nor I to them,
I could float back there if you left,
Into a corner,
There's no light there,
I could turn into a monster,
It's a fine line,
Sanity,
An invisible one,
Did I cross it ever?
Maybe.

Keep me on this side,
You already do,
Embrace my mentality,
You already do,
I love you.

Sometimes I think sanity is over-rated!

The following lines really were some of my favourites ~

~ "Those balloons are floating away,
Stop them!"

~ "Alone is a sink full of dirty dishes,
And a dripping faucet in the middle of the night,"
