Broken latch
unable to seal
for too long
finally feels repairs
and can protect itself
by shutting out
the unwanted.
26:251
Anticipated excitement
dampened
by overwhelmed senses,
forcing its presence
in your nostalgia
and breaking the magic
of connections
through years.
26:250
Optimism
drained too quickly
and leaving
empty grasping
for hope
too hard
to imagine
anymore.
26:249
Anticipate a visit
to listen
and deflect,
or should you be
more honest this time,
sharing pain
and disappointment
with eyes
on only you.
26:248
Missing piece
snatched
from the complete.
Do you replace it
or leave the gap
for all to see?
26:247
Wrap a thin layer
of security
around yourself
while I’m gone,
trying to find an answer
that will save us both.
Wait and hope.
Believe I will
return.
26:246
Reduced party
but over-levelled,
one swift swipe
and you’re ready
to move past
old content
and catch up
to relevant achievements.
26:245
Mark with wet,
easily wiped away
but its lingering coolness
reminds and distracts.
Will you let it?
Do you want it to?
26:244
Shave away
the essence of living
to save a future
you can’t be
apart of.
Will knowing it exists
carry you
through the loneliness?
26:243
Wash away
a moment of uncertainty
with sharp pain
surfacing and shocking
the one responsible.
Do they see you again
and remember
when you were
worth it?
