What I Can't See

The world looks odd without my glasses.
I can see the details on my lunchbox
and the tiniest specks on my computer,
but I could not tell you
what is written on the menu
or what that poster on the wall says.

The world looks odd through building tears.
I can see the reasons why you left me
and your back as you walk away,
but I could not tell you
what the days without you look like
or how I'll make it through.

  • tired

    i'm tired
    it's an exhaustion that permeates my attempts to clear my mind
    wrings me out like an old washcloth
    leaves me feeling almost empty

    i'm falling asleep
    and every time I shut my eyes
    i lose a little bit more of myself
  • i am a universe

    if i am a universe
    then the stars are my personality
    the greatest forces
    in this whirling mass
    making me who i am
    so many aspects
    so varied, so scattered
    creating a shining light
    displayed for all to see
  • Descent

    Stars
    They are stars, glowing from afar on a dimly lit stage
    Creating constellations, weaving a story of old
    Rolling across the sky to reach for another
    To hold each other
    To lift each other
    To become one with each other
