5:16 pm . white
visit all the places that i choose to forget,
want to remember if only for the sake.
run redlights, amberlights
just run.

burnt out candles to awaken the notion
that we're here in a dream & there'll be
time between us. the end i know,
it comes sooner than the beginning
but there i could forget you
forsake all the fiction that i've
lead myself to believe
but i don't.

time enough to gather all my dresses,
earrings, boots & a suitcase,
escape to a place where the sky touches
the earth, to find a girl in loneliness
it's all she really wants.
keep herself together
not fall apart at the sight
of you.

ground seems unsteady,
a french film by the coffee house
it rains, it pours. it's my favourite weather,
yours maybe? i'd love for it
to be fact. you're charming & that
i am sure of, make me miserable
if only because i want to be.
an undisclosed reverie
to give away when i
come across the feeling
again, again.

i'll wait the weeks,
all the while chasing you
around my imagination where
you seem to stand & sleep
ad infinitum.

nostalgia . uncertainty
