how silly of
me
to ever think you’d
agree
to withstand a
breath
of autumn air

i had fallen down
the rabbit
hole
into wonderland
but
here i am;
right side up

this
tidal wave
beneath
my skin
pounds
inside my
veins
.
the watersong
that
calls, drives
me
quite insane

if I followed
the
heart line
on
my hands,
would they
lead
to you?

if I could bottle
memories
i’d
save us
waltzing in
the moonlight
pretending
we weren’t
in love

like a faucet that always
trickles
i let my mind empty
itself

i suffocate
under the weight of the burdens
laid out on my chest
fruitlessly i struggle, there is no rest
i’d like to believe there’s a reprieve
out there for someone like me
but I know that’s a fallacy
i’m too eager to see
