It's never been more apparent than when flipping through the old pages.
Fading, worn, torn.
Still ever so legible though.
Something brings me back to it every so often,
More often now than ever.

I would like to hide it away,
Tuck it away and hide it from the sunlight rising during the day.
Even if I would,
The book is bitter it won't leave me be.
No matter how many times I've read it.

I know it back and front.
Left to Right.
Upsidedown.
One day you will be put down.
Binded shut to keep you quiet.

I lay on the floor
unable to sleep
I hear voices
it's 5am

I see a lot of people
resorting back to
something they know
won't work out

I can't help but wonder
the fragility of
a humans emotions
and how we all need

It causes more pain
over time, but still
they (we) continue
We're really animals.

Wind chimes, and wind instruments
Fill my head, slowly descending.
The tempo jumping
Slowing
Stops.
I hit play.

Snow will be coming soon.
White, beautiful, glistening in the sun.
I go down the line.
My nose is a bit numb.
My lips are too.

#23

We were once on the shore, a sun setting and you holding my hand.
The future was made, at that point we didn't know it.
I kissed you on your forhead, and we happily walked to your car.
Suddenly we looked up, and the sky was filled with stars.
My heart was filled with joy, my heart was filled with you.
Stuck in that moment forever, in some other dimension.
At least I know I'm happy, even if it's gone for the current me.

#22

I've let you go to float off into some existence I'm unaware of.
With some twist of fate you're stuck to me like a hook pulling a piece of string from my shirt.
The familiar words, sounds invoke and flutter around in a distant sort of way.
I'm going to cut this string loose right now, well maybe not today.
It's been nice having you around, but I think I'll go.

Besides the first fact, it may be all contradictions
A noble first act, with brilliant transitions
A blinding light, Stop! Intermission
The scene breaks down, and builds up
Everyone sits down, actors take your positions.
Nothing is the same though, viewing through a lens of a lens.
While you're left there, in the act of suspense.
