familiarity
& happiness,
happiness is like an old home ive never visited
the one we see in dreams
like the ones on ivy-bridged hills
like the ones in cold breezes that gives birth to shuddering hearts
& sadness,
sadness is like that broken road to a broken home
it is misfortune disguised as your biggest familiarity
its like that rubble ridden road to the airport
I am so afraid of the rumble of engines
its like the gravel on a ghost carpeted floor
echoing with footsteps of a child
child with broken teeth
child that is fast-forwarded entropy now
& roofs,
roofs i may have over my head
but,
whats a home when roofs cant shelter you from the blizzard right underneath it?
tell me.
whats it like?
when familiarity is your biggest fear?
like how the door to your childhood home reminds you of being trapped in forever
or how the sunset through the ***** window only reminds of you of how blind youve been
because I
I am tired of fighting past the empty alleyway haunted by ghosts I cant forget
I am tired of the cold blizzard that freezes my words
I am tired of the asphyxiating snowstorms that anesthize my breath
I am tired of the broken past and-
thats okay.
because;
the cold wind blisters my lungs but sometimes its the only thing that reminds me im still pretty much alive
now, its only time
that i get to the home ive never visited to dig up the grave you buried my innocence
and finally reclaim
what has always been mine.
