Its not ignoring it,
that helps you find it.
It's being able to accept it.
Most people won't find it.
They won’t find anything.
They'll make themselves a picture.
Something fake.
That keeps them busy.
A creation.
Can you just become
Love?
I can’t picture that.
That must take time.
I want effortless love.
Maybe I don't want love.
Because, I want to fall
and break something.
I want to stop fighting with myself.
I want to see what I want clearly,
when it finds me.
One day someone will feel the way I do about you
for me.
So I swallow my feelings,
Day to day,
Knowing that it didn’t work out.
It was you, who was the stepping stone,
in the gravel, past the fence, under the old withered trees,
blocking that view
worth waiting for.
