Unfold

I look at the people
but I do not see them
I am somewhere in my head
frozen in time

I'm at the destination
I don't know how I got here
someone asks if I'm okay
I answer "just fine"

Its not me thats breaking
at least I'm pretty sure
I might be mistaken
but this feels familiar

I listen
but I don't hear what you're saying
somewhere music is playing
and my hands, they are shaking
but not from the cold

you ask me
why I am crying
I feel my face is wet
and I fall into your arms
I let myself unfold

Author notes

gotta love a good mental breakdown
I picked Suzanne Vega and the song Cracking

lyrics
It's a one time thing
It just happens
A lot
Walk with me
And we will see
What we have got
Ah...

My footsteps are ticking
Like water dripping from a tree
Walking a harline
And stepping very carefully
Ah...

My heart is broken
It is worn out at the knees
Hearing muffled
Seeing blind
Soon it will hit the Deep Freeze

And something is cracking
I don't know where
Ice on the sidewalk
Brittle braches
In the air

The sun
Is blinding
Dizzy golden, dancing green
Through the park in the afternoon
Wondering where the hell
I have been
Ah...
