Watery

elusive, like water
I tried to grab you with my hands
repeatedly
when you left me cold like winter I cried a torrential downpour

I thought I was frozen in time
like ice man

but you grew up and I grew up and everyone grew and grew

I still reach for you

and you engulf me

every time

The Only Thing Worse Than Seeing You Is Not Seeing You

The Only Thing Worse Than Not Seeing You Is Seeing You

“girl of my dreams

I’ll never know you

cause I never sleep”
