sobering up

The fog is clearing

Im sobering up

Being further from you allows me to breathe the fresh air

Clarity

Somehow you still captivate me

Move me

Change me

But it's an illusion 

A trick

An act

A fleeting thought I run to when I want to escape all that I am

A distraction

Not real.

parallel universe

You asked me if I believed in parallel universes

Of course I do

I'd trade heaven and earth to end up in one where you and I ended up together

we're not promised tomorrow

Such an odd thing,

...to think about the last time you might kiss someone

human kaleidoscope

the cold wind blows

but the suns somehow warm

my head says be in it

but my heart is all torn

the hesitation in your voice

the sweet smell of your words

the bitterness of your actions

your lies like mockingbirds

id tell you that i love you

but i swore to you that im no liar

this chill has settled in my bones

its been years since we had fire

the awkward walk back to the car

you asked if there was hope

i tried not to lie and still make it pretty

i'll be your human kaleidoscope
