like the sky bursting into a cacophony of light, piercing through my muddied waters.

don’t mind me – i am simply wandering the fields gathering poems

you may have lit this fire, but i was the one who fed it with oil until it threatened to burn both of us alive.

your lingering presence like water lapping at my heels

being told who you are.

i pushed you so hard i ended up falling myself

quiet now. my heart is speaking.

i didn’t have the faintest inkling that you were tying yourself into knots over me. months later, i would be the one bending over...

i’m not sure exactly what kind of life i’m looking for but i’m hoping i’ll know it when i see it
