There is an unsettling pain that has taken root deep within the fibers of my being. A nervous ache that comes and goes just as you do. The fear of taking my next step forward has rendered me defenseless to my own devices and I find myself unable to sleep in fear that some self created form of you will visit me as I try to unconsciously push you out. Sometimes I feel as though there is no end to this constant whirlwind of barbed wire feelings that encapsulate themselves inside of my heart and mind. I still long for the smooth touch of the fingers that showed me what it meant to feel whole again. I do not want this to become a vice. An impasse between heart and mind Wherein I leave behind the very essence of myself that made it possible to survive in a world where I can’t feel you. The passage of time only signifies and solidifies the fact that I should break these urgent fingers while I can still run and hide
