I approached you with exposure
But you didn’t offer me closure
You dared to entertain
An unfair game
Of cat and mouse
Except I’m the cat
And you’re more like a louse
Under my skin
Itching begins
And now, I can’t ignore it
I’ve been infected with you like a parasite
Of hope and dashed dreams
It seems when I lend myself to dreaming
It leaves me reeling
And I thought it was time
I even had a key around my neck
reminding me
New promises are locked
And the door is mine
But you-blocked fulfillment
Slammed it in my face
To my disgrace
I wasn’t in a place
That had room for that kind of apathetic
abuse
Oh, what’s the use?
You can’t see me or hear me so you can’t
have me
But somehow, despite my resistance,
You own me anyways

I embarked to my favorite coastline several years ago in search of feeling in a dark season and accdientally wrote a poem. I have written ever since.
Poetry is what my friends know me for, but words burn in my bones.
