Rocket Ship
By Lubna Hazeem
“Why is it hot in here?
Why do i get cold everytime i hear this?
Why does it hurt so much, so much
Why can’t i take it all upon my chest?
I used to speak, you used to listen
But then things went awfully wrong
I used to say i will fix your problems
As long as you won’t leave me alone
All of these wishes and promises and hopes
All of them were wasted not so long ago
I waited and waited but really, what for?
I really don’t want to wait anymore
And here it goes, that dreadful sound
Now is the time, goodbye ground
I feel like my head’s about to explode
And shatter all over the place, you know
From a rocket ship, a rocket ship
Watching over you from a distance
Circling around your wicked world
Trying to be part of it all
Floating upon a spectrum of light
The planets you’ve kept close by
The friction of our endless paths
Starting to fade into black
Breathing through a mysterious hole
Im helplessly whom you’ve controlled
Death has come to rape this heart
Will it be satisfied?”
