A Little While

I had a new nightmare last night
I lived it till my eyes opened wide
I cried a little because
The horror was a memory
Locked in the vault of my mind

I forced myself to do that
5 o'clock routine
Trying to wash away the existence
Of a memory
Went to the bus trying to fake a smile
Doing what I do best
Without even breaking a frown

They don't know
I cry at night and they don't know
How long I pray that death doesn't touch
The ones in my life
Because the pain of a distant memory
Is enough for me right now
Its hard being human
I want to stay untouchable....Just for a little while
