August 17th

by Alexis D. - Virgo

often it feels like
minutes are hours
and hours are days
and as much effort as i put
in to catching up with myself
it’s much easier
to bury my head beneath
and pretend that those brief 
seconds never existed...

so i imagine...
that i never felt the warmth of your sunshine
or tasted the rain in the wetness
of your lips...

and i begin to believe
that i never found safety
in the ease with which i
was able to hide in the
shadows of your moonlight
and dream of losing
myself there forever.

often it feels like
minutes are hours 
and hours are days
and as much effort as i put
into catching up with myself...

it’s so, so much easier
to let time pass away
swallow the light 
inject the warmth

and just ignore the pain.
