W A I T

Wait.

W A I T I N G for the day

To chase away the dark that resides behind his eyes T W A train passes.

But you don’t

W A I To

Find the night and steal it

From the waves that crash

Inside his head.

That hide behind his flesh.

Wait.

W A I T I N G for the train to stop.

But it doesn’t W A I T for you,

You’ve got nowhere else to B E L I E V E that you’re

Finally H A P P why am I crying?

Now.

Temporaril E N O U G H of him for you to climb up.

Up.

Up.

Where you W A I T for him to reach higher before his

Breath knocks you back down.

Down.

Down.

You land,

Locked in a chest with the K E why cant I find it?

The way to escape.

The way to speculate

Of what is outside of the box 

I hide in.

I cannot see the S K why is it missing?

You don’t need me and neither do I T W A I T

I didn’t mean that.

Wait.

Waiting for the tides to slide across the sand

Show the foot steps.

Steps.

Stepping.

Running out of

Holes to

burn. Making tears in the net

E N O U G H

For the bluebird to leave his nest.

Every step.

Step.

Stepping.

A flame in your chest.

It F L I know you’re left behind.

There won’t ever be a reason to S T O People

Move.

Move until the E N Don’t know which side you’re leaning on.

The truth,

The Lies,

The phases of H A P P why am I writing

Lines of P O E T R why are they hidden in the back of your brain?

Too.

Too afraid.

Too much care.

Too much.

Playing with keys.

With strings.

With lights that don’t

Go out. With notes  you can’t hit.

Wait

W A I T I N G for something bigger than myself.

Wait

W A I Ting for something more substantial than the

Pencil in my hand and the canvas of your S K I Not

E N O U G H paper to tell stories of you.

I B E L I E V in what I conceive.

The sunset behind your eyes is pink. Just like the words

Inspired by it.

Paint me like your S K why can’t I see you at night?

W A I T I N G to hear your thoughts in the stars. Your

Kisses in the dark.

Though we are apart

I still count the moons in your heart.

You’re fit to burst.

You’re falling apart.

A cloud passes through my M I N Don’t

W A I T

For me to blow it A W A why won’t it go?

It waits to dissipate.

To dissolve the haze from your eyes. Breathing in a

Breath that was once mine. I want you

To take it.

Don’t W A I T.

Wait.

Waiting for a hand to hold.

For lips to kiss

Wait for a heart to love.

Don’t W A I T.

You are E N O U G H

To B E L I E V E

You are H A P P why am I so L O N E L

Why am I so alone?
