holy space
i embed you
in my brain
to keep sane
i'll retract
from
the things that don't make me feel safe

i stare at the sky
all nights
and think about the things that make sense to me
that matter:
loyalty
truth
peace
tact
music
knowledge
love

i want a calmness
that you can't pronounce
but i know we are all just trying to live
and do the same thing
so i see you
in a different light
in hopes that you'll see me as such
as well

oh, well.
