something blurry in my body
I was everything and nothing all at once
Like my brain left my head and wandered to the corner store,
scrutinizing the shelves and shelves of neon
while I stay back, feet on the floor

The ceiling was fuzzy and my words melted into indecipherable shapes
Hanging in the air and then dispersing into the night

you let me forget
Why is it that desire and fear are so closely intertwined?

Picked up and thrown into the sky
I think my hair got caught on a star, or maybe it was just the door hinge

ringing in my ears
Was I drowning?
Standing on the dock alone, the boat gone.
little girl pulled into the deep dark lake

or maybe that was freedom
Everything’s subjective, right?

it doesn’t have to be sentimental; I remind myself
you let me forget
everything and nothing
