Can I just go on forever and never have to love?

Can I etch my eyes into the curves of my fingerprints?

When will my heart beat like the wings of a hummingbird?

When will I be enough for the ones that I touch?

Can I keep walking without a home?

I am overcome

with intense displays of emotion

sometimes,

In the pouring rain.

And I know it's in vain

But I carry on,

*Oh, you know I carry on.
