strange places I visit in dreams
complex structures
don't make sense
tied to familial lineage
ownership, inheritance, & secrets unknown
deepening fears unresolved
driving on an empty tank, without gas
how much time do i have to pass
itching skin
the tender areas of my heart lay untethered — released
I hope you return my query — my shot in the dark
it's been so lonely without the sparks
of our love — the promises broken,
shattered and left on the floor.
Is it my turn to sweep up the remains?
Or will the pieces just stay the same.
We said goodbye to ruins called home.
how much time did we spend filling in cracks —
the space in between shifts like tectonic plates.
Am I an eruption of pain and heartache,
or am I interrupting the slow and natural flow?
Alone I stay, sans reply, where are you love with your alibi?
So much time spent missing you,
so much time dedicated to the form you knew —
who you thought I was — no someone new.
based on the past few nights of strange dreams I've endured.
curious and nightmarish at the same time.
