As Time Wears On
“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.”

“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.”

All 3? Whatever you feel like answering
Umm.. I haven't really written in like a year or two, but want to get back into it? Except I'm not sure I even have a favorite childhood memory 🤷🏻♀️ lol pretty pathetic. It's an awesome concept though
My favorite word is the one currently hanging from your lips.

Would you write a poem about your favorite childhood memory?
Is this a request, prompt, or actual question??
“I still find myself
pleading the universe
to take care of you.”
