A faint fog falls

Over my tired eyes

It's the same that covered them before

Yet still a part of me dies

Our gaze connects,

For only just a moment 

My heart skips a beat

Are you the friend that never gets heard when there's a group conversation? 

Are you the friend that when there's not enough room in the hall or on the sidewalk you go behind everyone? 

There is a light, 

one small glimmer. 

It flickers like the flames, 

fighting the darkness. 

Dim, 

Every day that year 
I would look up at the sky 
At night it was black and blue 
With white stars 
Glowing bright above 
The Marfa lights 
The streetlights glowed 
Bright and bold

I have taken this path time and time again 

But why does this time feel … 

Longer and bitter. 

For what it seems like I am stuck.
