Why was I afraid of you, my love
you don’t bite…I know that
but everyone was playing outside and I didn’t wanna get left behind
You still stuck around
even when I ignored you,
or couldn’t see you
My eyes were muddied over with stars and ideas
glazed over with ideas of time
Kneeling on the floor, crying about the wind
you stood there
watching me drink to numb the pain away
you allowed
then you watched me as I stood up, dried my eyes, and foolishly tried and tried again.
