I should be reading right now,
But my mind can’t focus.
My body’s energy is directed
Only towards my hand and
Through this pen.

I should be reading right now,
Instead, I am dreaming right now.
I am falling into your
Arms and they feel exactly
The same –
Boulders –
Only I can erode them,
Only I can mold them to the
Earth of my own.

Your soul –
Though it is quiet –
It speaks to me.
I should be reading right now,
Instead, I am writing right now,
Because that is what I do best.
I want to write my life
On your skin,
Because it is that important.

Stopping is just as important as
Going,
But honestly,
I’ve never really understood the
Word “Importance,” anyway.
