• Once in a while
    You feel your heart stop beating.
    Once in a while
    You’re warm from heat to toe,
    Though your blood stays stagnant in your veins.
    Once in a while
    You don’t feel flawed,
    In any way at all.

    But those days are few
    And crucial to our sanity.
    They keep us from the dark parts of our minds.

    Keep them close…
    Keep them locked away.
    For those cold rainy days
    When everything looks flawed
    And everything brings pain.

    For the times
    When we attack ourselves
    And feel as though we are being punished
    For a crime of unknown origins.

    That is when we bring back those long lost memories
    Of when we were perfect in someone else’s eyes.
