Something’s changed, like I knew it would. The feeling’s subsided, like a piece of drift wood. Chasing after shadows in the dark. Calling out your name in the stillness of the night. Yo...

Twenty five Afraid to live Afraid to tempt fate To want what others have– How sinful of me

Swimming in a sea of wonder Waking to the crash of thunder Running till the fear ceases And light creases Bending but never breaking

Swirling in a silver haze Staring @ you While staring at me in a milky gla… Trying to talk to you But you close your eyes

Twirling in a dizzying array of wo… Held captive to the orchestra of t… When the icy breath of winter appr… My dismay is irreproachable Sleeping in the arms of slumber

Irrational Fighting emotions Logical Fighting devotion Counting sheep

Danger stalks far & wide Questions linger in the air Waiting at the curb to catch a rid… Staring at the car lights Ready to set off a flare
