I Still Find Myself

pleading the universe
to take care of you.”

“As time wears on
my mind wears down
to the studs and rotten insulation.
The fact is: I’ve been torturing myself
by takin’ a brutal sledgehammer to the
beautiful dwelling you’ve made for yourself,
but each dent I make, each split beam I shatter,
I never make headway in tearing you out.
At this point in time,
I’m on to closing you off, boarding you up--
quarantining your perfect world of a corner--
finally makin’ sure it’s you inside
looking out, and not me bashing in my head
trying to join you.”

If you are still accepting prompts, how about this: loose shoelaces and tongue-tied? Loved the prompt piece I read and hope this can help in some way! :)
Yes! I’m always accepting prompts! Thank you so much for sending one, and I’m sorry it took so long to respond/answer!
“You’ve got me so kid-dumb
that I’m clumsily tripping
over loose shoelaces,
but too stubborn to stop
and look away from you.
And I’m so tongue-tied silly
that the babble out of my mouth
hangs in the air
between your eagerly knowing face
and my next word disaster.
I’ve been pulled back
to a time before knowing death
and pushed forward
into finally seeing life with love.”

My favorite word is the one currently hanging from your lips.

“Tell me I’m not crazy
and that you’re real
like the cologne that permeated
the shoulder of my shirt
as if you’re still waiting for a kiss.
Tell me I’m not crazy
and that we’re not rushing
like the active river water under the layer
of thick ice during the lifespan of winter.
(Does it truly matter though?)
Tell me I’m not crazy
and that it’s okay.
Tell me that you love me
because I’m crazy.”
