Seis de Mayo

I just woke up
not feeling too hot
questioning my actions
from last night
questioning myself
for questioning them

it was so good to see
those familiar faces
new and old
connecting with the ones
I’m connected to
disconnecting a little
from the likes of you

someday soon
we’ll be like that
sitting on cushions
of old memories
speaking of new lives
not knowing
each other
anymore
reverting back to
roles we used to play

those who don’t allow
themselves to attach
to someone
seem to have
a lot of faces
to catch up with
is there no
one
that got away
is there no
one
that you burn
inside for

what do you
hold onto
to anchor yourself down
