lunatic for the least deserving

May 12th, 2019

(not really sure what this is about)

You may be the least deserving.

Yet for you only do I hold my breath.

You have given little; proven nothing.

Yet my mind finds its way to a well of thoughts of you. A well that never dries; filled by silent streams of empty promises and lost thoughts and fleeting moments of eye contact and a silent comfort that reminds me of home more than anything I have ever known.

A lunatic’s pursuit of a thing that does not exist.

A fearful determination to guard what is real against being marred by this, the jagged, imperfect world.

The world that has taken so much; that has burned my fingers; that has grown the cherries we ate at sunset; that has let me be near you.

Please let me be near you.
