She hangs brightly

I missed a part of me when I crossed the border

And parted oceans

I walk the streets beneath never-ending lights and sounds

Silence is a privilege

Then I look at the sky and lose myself in wonder

So blue, so cold,

so beautiful and haunting

And I'm one of many 

Struggling to fit into a city that is larger than life

But yet too small for me sometimes

The neon blurs my dreams

And numbs my thoughts

I forget whether I am sleeping

Wide awake

Or simply lost
