7286 Days And Counting- by: unknown forgotten
It's a lot like disillusion
A sort of false reality
A salty fog that resided only in your mind
The taste of vinegar
The ice that freezes your toes
Resting upon a wooden bed
Wrapped up in lettuce
Thoughts of unimportance
Escaping what you know is real
Shutting yourself in for days
Visiting old friends, and never seeing them ever again
Keeping in touch once every 6 years
Swimming in contaminated waters
Drinking a cup of who knows what
Spinning in circles in your new car
Climbing a tree only to fall
Shoplifting with money in hand
Tasting only samples but never buying a thing
Looking at pets with desires of hunger
barbecuing liver and onions for your family
Computers that love more than lovers
Mirrors that begin to talk back after awhile
Cereal that sits out all day
Trash piled up in heaps upon the floor
Books unread in the fire
Ideas drowned out with liquor
The scent of fresh paint
Cars constantly broken down
Joyous occasions end in frowns
Funerals of people you've never met
Relatives you wish were dead
Smoking cigars inside the house
Music that makes your ears hurt
Fish in the tank starved to death
Toilet overflowing flooding the basement
A dark feeling that things will never be right
Awake during surgery
Mold inside the walls
Burning rubber
Televisions exploding
Getting your hair caught in a vacuum
Photos blurred out
Matches all soaked and wet
Snowfall in your window at night
Getting lost in your hometown
Regret
Machines taking over your job
Doing the job of a machine
Cell phone batteries depleted
Carpet stained with wine
Knocks on the door from strangers
Converting your dollars to Euros
Planes that crash into mountains
Lovers who've killed themselves
A sink full of vomit
Another first kiss
Burning yourself on a hot stove
Getting locked out
Debt never repaid
River swimming and waterfalls
Movies that make you cry
Pulling hair alone at night
Shivers down your back
Sex on the kitchen counter
Stickers on street signs
Dogs howling
Getting the high score
Learning to play guitar
Moving to New York, yankee
Fleeing to New Orleans
Spending the night in a cave
Falling asleep at the wheel
Bounced checks
Starting a new hobby
Expectedly failing again
Losing your wallet
Flat tires
Empty cupboards
Candles burning out
Cutting yourself while shaving
Breaking an ankle
Quitting your job in anger
Numbers that don't add up
Begging for mercy
New shoes that don't fit
Losing your sight, getting glasses
Believing in god then dyeing
Cattle in the fields
Half moons versus crescent moons
The boy who had no legs
Fear of writing a letter
Making movies in your mind
Biting fingernails
Stale crackers
Crushing cans, breaking bottles
Going out for lunch
Peering through the blinds
Surprise birthday parties
Dreaming alone in a park
Police cars
Feeding the hungry
Death at your door
Killing a snake, keeping the mouse
Building a cabin
Looking up words in the dictionary
Taxes and files
Lessons never learned
Shoes full of holes
Forgetting to take the garbage out
Post-it notes
Walking into walls
Buying candy you don't like
Stopped escalators in malls
The smell of bathroom disinfectant
receiving the wrong change
Headphone speakers blown
Punching jaws
Rolling in your sleep
No will to live
Rolling hills
Broken chairs
Radio is only static sound
Cutting yourself on scissors
Going to anger management
Waking up at dawn
Being told you're useless
Pens that are out of ink
Plugging a light into an outlet
Watering the lawn
Singing a sad sad song
Sickness that is contagious
Disillusion is dangerous
