I failed to mention my frustration
when I told you "no" without hesitation,
but you pulled me in with determination,
and left my body full of devastation.
I laugh when you're brought up in conversation.
The truth is that I'm avoiding confrontation.

Soft spoken
This hidden nature of my own heart
Keeps me wrapped up in daydreams

Hesitant
A river of emotion flowing before me
Threatening to flood
And you want me….
To..
Hop skip and jump across
The tentative stones of our friendship
And say
“Hello?”

I sit back down from trepidation

Its not that what you ask is excessive.
But…
What if I’m wrong?

What if that’s not what you are asking…
But instead
You are the river, pushing me away.

I found my answer in your hesitation.

Hesitate*
And you will become spectator
To your own
*Fate
Go for it!

Friend today I have dream't about you though I don't know who you are.
You were too lovely even more with those scars.
You were lying in bed on the other side of the room
The day that we meet would be the day of our doom.
Falling in love with you is completely absurd
Loving a stranger well for me is unheard
I'm curious about you, yet I'm afraid.
I'll just ignore the feeling until it starts to fade.

Volitional Cageling,
Lightling
Amber agony of in prisming

Show me a way, then
    from the baseless lines
    from my binding fears
    through the blinding menisci of my tears

Take me a way
    from this tangle of yield,
    from irresolution,
    dewhipped web of timid hesitation...

How does one escape from
    "rationalessness"                                          How does one escape
from this cocoon of "here"

If you're havin' a smoke

Take a gentle ****

So you're not left breathless

By what life will evoke

If you get too high

And time will pass you by

Faster than you know

Faster than you know

So you sit and wonder why

You can't go slow

The cherry burns brighter

As you try to gain control

It is the dashing, flickering sunlight past the naked trees' silhouettes I liken to a film reel.

I watched a sunset and I was enamored with my hand cutting through the night air.

The lot of my mind spilled out onto the street
and shone its own gleam in passerby headlights.

Growing fast and dimly into a state of melancholy,
I took a moment and a pause.

Now I wonder
Where the blunder,
Had come from?
What was done?


It's always been:
I find you at the broken end of each thought;
Steadfast and quiet, you're the horizon that I look to.
We met in the flickering strobelights of hesitation; greeting too close a depth that made us wonder unready, we fled.

I stepped into insomnia with thoughts spun in horror.
Met by my nightmare ghost leaning, I give a kiss of contempt.

I can understand that which is left to me in the dark.
Sometimes, you get blindsided by the past.
