The sun is lazy and poisonous this morning
…only sneak previews and hints of grey
over the tops of cotton candy clouds
just wondering, wandering
a lot of the time, i feel like
a traveling gypsy living out of her pocket
the only place i feel at home
is anywhere other than where i am
and i’ve been hiding out for so long i
no longer recognize myself.
i’ve spent more nights in than out
a struggle as i repeatedly avoid the sunlight
love affairs with moonlit thoughts
and i’ve gone off wandering again
like clockwork
but i’ve found myself in between
questioning and self doubt
days come and go and i lose track of all time
the warmth of spring sunshine on my
closed eyes
trying to find all of lost hope in that short,
soft embrace while traffic strolls by.
if only goodbyes clouded minds over
once upon a time daydreams
there might be hope for me yet.
