Bloodshot Eyes

It was the edge of the cliff.

There was a tall building in the distance.

This body comes out so stiff

from the pure thoughts of nuisance.

On the back of my hand was

the skin of someone I forgot exist.

I was shocked simply because

how could I easily dismiss this?

I return to town and go to sleep

and there my dream's buried too deep.

I wake up the next morning in a daze

and saw the streets covered in a haze.

I shyly watched through the dirty window

and noticed the sunbeam so sallow.

I squinted my eyes so as to adjust

but they were ensnared by a speck of dust.

When they tear up and turn bloodshot,

I immediately remember that I forgot:

Maybe, I've tired myself too far

and thus, I lost my sight in the radar.
