the worst feeling is waking up
and immediately missing someone
you just spent the previous day
forgetting
distracting
layering brick upon brick
building on top of
your sensitive
heart
losing yourself in
the
others.
and then you begin to dream
and the bricks slowly crumble
as you relax
into open, pure,
return to self.
so when you wake up
and your mind and heart
immediately go to the
place you’d rather not
you think to yourself
“what a terrible way to start the day”
and you start rebuilding again.
