blur

there’s you
through bits
of trying to fill the hollow that life sometimes brings
a sadness that is free and vague

I expect better of myself
I expect more

a wind I ache for
makes it hard to see
my hair is now long enough
to fall in my eyes

sunlight is a blessing
but what happens when
I decide I need it
and it’s not around?

blurry-eyed and wanting
focus
wanting to shake this
unfamiliar distrust
wanting to forget scattered 
thoughts

I don’t want to use you
to gain clarity
I don’t just want to use you

to feel better

    This has been my own reality as of late. I don't want to use anyone especially not the ones I hold most dear. But when you feel like your drowning its hard not to cling to the closest thing near. It is a hard balance.

    I like your voice in this one it has such texture. So crisp and present.
