365
i want to live in a perpetuating cycle of when you take my hand.
can you hold me again?
the air feels dense and i can’t quite breathe.
this heavy earth is going on a self cleanse.
i want to cover my ears and my eyes.
kiss me so i forget sadness exists.
you never say goodbye but you always leave.
i open my mouth but it doesn’t make a sound.
i never thought my words have power so i fear asking if you would want to stay.
you beat yourself up after we touched.
i let you go every time
there’s a hole on the floor now
and i would like to fall until i’m found.
every face in the crowd i look for you.
but you wander and already found something new.
please, exist with me one more time.
hundred cycles of the earth and i still walk to you.
