I used to lie on a bicep
Wrapped in the natural scent of skin

Turns out a pillow isn't that bad
While a blanket is definitely the best comfort ever.

let
me
breathe
easily.

I'm running
Trying to catch peace that never arrives
Hiding between shadows
So I don't have to remember

I'm running
Erasing footsteps in exhaustion
Convincing myself
That distance will make the pain smaller
But the farther I go
The more real it becomes

No one is chasing
Except the truth keeps waiting
That it wasn't you I left behind
It was me.

Then I stop
Let the heart hurt
Let the pain speak
I won't run anymore

If forgetting were easy
I wouldn’t be here
Rewriting the same pain
With the same tired hand
As if one more line
Could erase you from my mind

The heaviest weight
A heart can bear.

Or perhaps,
A path God carves
For kindness to step in.
