#hyperfixation
There’s a piece of sand on the carpet, not where it’s supposed to be. It should live in the bucket– put away, not laying around bothering my feet. There’s a piece of sand on the carpet, and I’ve got laundry to fold. It’s only one grain of nothing, yet my full attention it holds. There’s a piece of sand on the carpet– I can’t see it, but I know it’s there. You wonder why I don’t dust it; I’m convincing myself I don’t care. Well, there’s a piece of sand on the carpet, and now I’ll never fall asleep. Eight hours behind, fell off my grind, never did find the broom to sweep.

Microscopic Chaos
instant chemistry, instant spark. new person, new topics, new feelings yet somehow, it feels as if we’ve already met. a familiarity in you that I see in me, too. common interests, humour, and laughs, the only two things that separate us are gender and heart. a newfound bond, a connection I already see shining strong and true. you see me, and I see you our real selves, transparent and clear, as if we read each other fluently. it hasn’t been long since actually knowing you, yet it feels like I’ve known you my whole life. our friendship still new, still beaming, hopefully true but with misread signals and miscommunication, each falling for someone, but I thought you liked me. you didn’t know I liked you. feeling like an idiot hurt and annoyed. after feeling it all, I realised my feelings were real, but untrue. I like you a lot, but not how I thought I did. I thought I had a romantic crush on you, but I have a crush on you as a person, as a friend. and I’m so glad we’ve met now and get to live this life together, finally having someone who sees our real selves, finally seeing something deeper than the reflection in a mirror.

Mirror boy
I’ve got plenty hyper-fixations Cliffhangers I like drag on in my mind There mainly of small shows or fandoms that weasel there way into my mind I lose myself in small details or characters They seem to envelop me whole Mind and all Soon it’ll be the only thought consumes my mind I fall asleep imagining scenarios that aren’t yet to come or might never. Soon theses fixations became of you Your face The way you look at me with disgust Your eyes Filled with deceit Your mouth Spouting plentiful lies It all fills my waking hours Filled with anxiety that I’m just not doing something right It’s my worse hyper-fixation That I’m saying something wrong That I’m speaking in the wrong tone That I that even with all my efforts Am lacking. So I’ll imagine a different way to react tomorrow, and I’ll stay up late tonight wondering If that one look you gave me Meant that I didn’t do something quite right again.

Hyperfixation
It's right up in your face Like blood on your **** floor But you are dumb to chase Me who is a chore Are you that desperate I love my instrument And my little masked men More than anything else My hyper fixations Take me away from you Open up your eyes I'm bright red flag Scratch out all my lies I make your mind lag When I tell you that I love you baby It's a total gag I just might maybe Love all my special interests and talents And love Nu metal A bit way too much I have no balance Left for a true love like you

Chasing a chore
My mind’s fracturing into repeating patterns Patterns of life and words I do not know People I have yet to see Breathing in equations and out various numbers Numbers with no meaning Sparse and erratic Splintering sentences and irrational answers Decimals Quotients Products Products that cannot be expressed Quotients that can never possibly be fathomed Decimals to infinity Never repeating But repeating that same set of numbers 1 through 9 in every shape and form Spiraling into the abyss Unifying everything Yet moving so fast So far That it all falls away Quantum mechanics General relativity Are nothing in the face of this infinite knowledge Infinite numbers Infinite death Death to these hands Death to these atoms Death to every particle of light that collapsed from a wave Death of the universe Death of me
