i count my way to you

in showers,

in bites, 

in polished teeth...

remind myself i have more fingers

than days between us;

less years yet lived than left

to be with you.

and though it seems like 

you're hardly there, i know you are

lingering

not knowing where, or why

i hide

not knowing why i can't rise up

while i stay buried not knowing

why you don't

pry up floorboards

to pull me out.

memory is a half empty glass of could have beens, should have beens, not anymores; everything leaks out the slightest cracks in the bottom

slowly

         slowly

before you realize there is nothing substantial left and there's just a bunch of atmosphere in there and nothing to quench you or warm you, or even spin you into drunk illusions of a life you don't have.

Tonight I will listen to Ed Sheeran and Gold Motel, take a ridiculous bath, attempt to read Jane Eyre but find that reading in the bath is never as relaxing as it looks in pictures, shave my legs twice, regret not going to bed earlier but somehow feel a little better about my life.

The minute you start caring about what other people think, is the minute you stop being yourself.

Sarcasm, directed into the blue in the hope of hitting the person you want, may not be effective, but it does relieve the feelings.

A.A. Milne

all there is between then

and now: a little bit of dreaming,

a little bit of breathing.

“Sometimes she did not know what she feared, what she desired: whether she feared or desired what had been or what would be, and precisely what she desired, she did not know.”
