still, they wait for me
words sliding over my tongue
I try to catch up
..............................................
okay, life is so fucking amazing
if we stop and pay attention
we touch so many people
with our words, actions
old news, I know
but really, why
are we here?
see me now
I am here
I see...
you.

pressed against my ear
warm lips quietly whisper
words swirling in air

push me down to sleep
and hold me under water
lungs filled with the night
