I forgot to turn the tap off all the way.
And now I’m laying in bed hearing water drip from the tap
Separating my thoughts with every drop.
I'm thinking about the impossible;
Standing in the rain without getting wet
Sticking my fingers in fire without getting burned
Standing in front of a moving train without getting smashed
Slicing my hand without feeling any pain
Jumping off a building and landing on my feet
I shut my eyes, hoping that the noise will go away
But the dripping got even louder
All of a sudden I begin to think of the worst
What if the sun never comes up tomorrow?
What if smiles were erased from earth?
What if there’s no “happily ever after”?
What if my heart is stolen for good?
If I really want to get any sleep,
I’d need to get out of bed and close that tap all the way
But for some reason,
I’m curious to know where the dripping will take my thoughts
Hoping that it gets better with the next couple of drops.
I still hear dripping from the tap
But my mind is blank
I open my eyes and shut it again
This time tighter than the first time
But still no thoughts
I’m thinking I must be doing something wrong at this point.
Or is the dripping so loud that it’s drowning my thoughts now.
It seems like the dripping managed to get rid of it all
It hammered in all the lose screws
It scared away all my scares
And it’s not loud any more
It keeps fading and fading
Now my mind is at peace!
