5 Minutes Away
by Bella Victoria
Five minutes awayFive minutes too far
I would walk the distance
But I don’t know where you are
Your head’s in the clouds
The clouds that you smoked
I can’t bring you down
Cause you think you have to on your own
It’s cold and your clouds give you warmth that you won’t take from me
But from up there vision’s impaired, and you cannot see me
You bottle it up
You bottle the bugs
Don’t want them to see
The critters you keep
We’re sitting right here
You tell me you’re fine
(I promise I’m fine)
But I see your jar of bugs
So I know you’re lying
You’ve gone cold and won’t accept warmth from me
Your bugs stare at you through the glass but you won’t set them free
Set them free
Five minutes away
