Don’t run away so quickly.
Stay for awhile …
stay for awhile …
stay for awhile and we’ll talk like our hearts are our mouths.
My stomach turns, rolls like it’s in my head,
I can’t stand steady.
Why did you wait for me with a bag packed, ready to go?
I knew then that nothing would stay your hand.
All the things I knew then ….
Still. The house air grass wind walls mind fingers time seems still now. Still. Still. Still. Still. Measure out my heartbeat with the word … it is too quick. Measure out my teardrops with the word. They are too plentiful. Drip – Thump – Still – Drop – Tha-thump – Still ——– and so on.
One person can make the world seem so happy.
One person can make the world feel glad.
One person, too, can make it empty.
One person as well to make me sad.
If I didn’t vent, my heart would crack.
Just know that I miss you.
Just know that I love you.
Just know that.
