Thoughts on this and that.

less than 1 minute read

I don't see stars anymore

Dry eyes and firm, I enter the dark

And I'm feeling, tripping, breathing

For something that sparks a chain

Reacting to it all, I spread

This and that and hopes on sheets

So strong yet hurt, she wanted better

Flashing back to a dark time, double streaks

Bled red she jumped to life and breathed

I see them now –

So many stars she wanted to see

And she could dream under the real

Thing as she wondered who to be

Or fly towards the dark and just be
