The air is immovable.
you took the wind with your wrists
so i light candles for a trace
of your cyclone steps
To   stop    drowning    on    dry      land
let me breathe in
let me hold your hand.

gave
my heart's key
~
you
scratched
down
my car door

i am not afraid of heights, fights or small spaces.
i am not afraid of snakes, spiders or crocodiles.
what frightens me.
Is Everyone's Intangibility.
Doubtful, willingness to stay.
The fear that no matter what, they'll
All Leave Anyway.
I am afraid of my own and everyone else's
Temporality.
Or maybe that's just abandonment issues

I was so obsessed,
with trying to help you

I forgot to remember,
did you even ask?
Oskar Erikson Jan 2017
I dreamt it finally
Saw it in
all its glory.
But even in dreams
There's still no hope for  you
for me.
Soft. Silken. Warm.
Intangible, without fear
Without form.
I dreamt it finally
and to an end I hoped to see
to see you
and me.

Be not afraid
of loneliness
as
Streetlights must be unlit
to sometimes see the stars.
Oskar Erikson Jan 2017
If I invested my money
as wisely
as I invested my love

I guess I'd be both types of broke.
