trivial once was the task to remain awake had the world but us turned in for the night mindless to what even was the day of the week a weightlessness I haven't felt in a long time

our friendships forged in the fires of frivolity yet as fragile as they get a mutual makeshift love made from memories that we swore we wouldn't soon forget

our jobs if we had them so insignificant honestly, how could we care? climbing the ladder wasn't our mode de vie walking backwards on a treadmill to nowhere

it's more than a decade on and I find myself wondering who they became reaching for rose coloured glasses when looking back memories turned inhumane
