Floating Words

Drop into this moment

Feel it, all of it

Caress the seconds ticking by…

I think I might be losing what’s left of my mind. I dropped it in the storm drain…

I can almost see our love disintegrate

In our acidic lies

We both filled the glass with them…

I wonder what you wonder

When we wander out alone

Just the two of us…

I’m having trouble

With distribution

Of our past into…

I will swallow my pride

Pass it by my Adam’s apple

Past the lungs that want to scream…

Comparisons are easily done

When you’re stuck in between

The past you knew…

At a yoga class the teacher said

“Only you know how your body feels”

And I screamed in my mind

I can’t lie to you

Even if I wanted to

It contradicts the way I love you…

I think that I’m disintegrating

Crumbling into ashes

Can’t seem to find a reason…

Enjoy the new life

You will lead

Without me…

The past sat down beside me

To tell me a few things

Reminding me of what it knew…

I weep for those we’ve lost

In senseless hatred

My heart breaks for those who mourn…

Do you enjoy the moments

The ones that slip between

The cracks and dents

Can you see through

My glass cage heart

The one I drained for you…

People ask me what I’m looking for, and I’ll say “I don’t know.”

But I do.

I know exactly.

In another life

I would love you up close

Instead of from afar…

If you knew what it meant

To be loved by you

I promise you you’d never…

I cannot fall in love with you

Because I’ll never stop

Even if it ends

Hold on to me forever

I will take it day by day

Promise that you’ll never go
