Ophelia

Is it time to shut the door?

asks the metaphor, nevermore.

I feel simple, I feel tiny

these three diamonds are too blinding.

I'm freezing up, I can't feel my heart

is this time for us to part?

Is it time to shut the door?

asks the metaphor, nevermore.

I look in the mirror, "Do I know you?"

"Excuse me, yes, you seem familiar, too!"

I'm getting trapped in a little sacred place

I'd ask you in, but there's really no space

Is it time to shut the door?

asks the metaphor, nevermore.

It's too noisy outside where I feel safe now

you ventured into it, but I don't know how

I feel a little submerged, it's a little hard to breathe

do I find a new air pocket? Is it right to leave?

Is it time to shut the door?

asks the metaphor, nevermore.
