My Imagination, To Yours

You can have a secret life 
Without doing anything wrong. 
You can be in love with someone you shouldn’t
Without having anyone know. 

Multiple worlds existing simultaneously
In your own mind. 

Imagination is a powerful 
And dangerous tool
When you least expect it to be

When all you want is to escape and be 
In another place
Where you can control everything. 

Maybe the control 
Is what makes it so dangerous. 
Or maybe it’s the fact that we get addicted 
To the perfection 
That lives in our mind.

    Dear Writing

    Dear Writing, 

    I've missed you. 

    I thought you wouldn't take me back. 
    Or at least, I wouldn't know what to say. 
    It seemed as if I had used you, 
    And every part of myself while I was at it.

    You Dig Holes

    I dig holes.
    So that I can sit at the bottom,
    So that you can sit on the bottom,
    And so that we can sit on the bottom, 
    Together. 

    Over and over again,
    I dig holes.

    And I imagine how we get into the hole.
