forever and a day,
i get carried away.
i’ve become the
skeleton crew
working overtime
on my life.
my fears have
come to comfort me.
i hug them all, I say,
“It’s okay,
you were just
trying to protect
me.”
and they say,
“We’re sorry that
it was from all
you ever wanted.
We didn’t know
the difference
between
love and pain.”
