you in my mind

When I clear my mind 

I just push you down deeper

into my core

until I just can't tell the difference

between thinking you and feeling you

now you have become part of me

and I'm tired of falling

but I can't seem to stop

even when somebody offers their hand

because it has to be your hand,

and I try to get over it but then

you come back and tie me up again

and I don't want to hurt anyone

but that's hurting me

and I am so, so tired

of working so hard to get you out,

except 

you will always be a part of me

and I can't stop my mind

from thinking about you, rationalizing

every little detail meaning the world

a world that I can't just live in

when you're here, somewhere

most definitely within me

but maybe I'm just seeing what I want to see

and that can't ever be enough

  • Smile

    The last thing that brought a smile to my lips was a school hallway interaction. A girl who I'd never seen passed me, and gave me the biggest smile. It quite literally felt like sunlight seeping to my core.

  • Thoughts About Driving

    Sometimes driving makes me wonder 

    Sitting in a big tin box, travelling faster than a hare

    Until I reach traffic and crawl along slower than a tortoise

    We spend so, so much time

    Moving from one place to another

  • Chamomile Tea

    Chamomile tea on a winter's day is

    Comforting as a warm hug

    Soothing as ointment on chapped skin 

    Steaming like the lazy trail of smoke from a chimney

    Wonderful like a homemade thank you card
