Sometimes,

I need to see in,

From the outside....

Scars.

Stains.

Imprints....

I’ve waited.

For nothing.

I’m drying....

Looking at you,

I smile,

Breathe deep...

Green.

Structured.

Aligned....

Why couldn’t you wait?

You left too soon.

I didn’t melt....

Smile.

Shine.

Spread your warmth....

Still shy, and

Unbelieving?

“Yes, ...

I’d like to open you.

Peel your leaves back,

One by one,...

Have you ever wanted something,

So bad,

That you’d sail to distant shores,...

Days…

When we bathed outside.

Boiling water,...

Wind me around you.

Close.

Tight....

The path is narrow,

Surrounded by serenity,

Beauty....

They’re there somewhere.

Below.

In their own world....

Sometimes we crack.

Feeling trampled upon,

Neglected....

As the day I moved in,

Six years ago.

But not empty now....

Trapped,

Trying to emerge,

Breathe,...

White streaks in the sky.

A path,

Painted on ripples....

Too many thoughts.

Deep-rooted patterns.

Relentless storms....

Grow on me.

Color the day.

Creep inside. ...
