Another superficial day
stirring little lies into my morning coffee
a spoon of sugar to make them
sweeter, more palatable
pretend that it's good for me
~~~
Loose ends hidden deftly on a screen
what isn't seen shouldn't bother me
(If you were easy to block,
I would have done it already)
So I leave you on unread
archived words left to haunt and linger
~~~
I could put an end to this silent limbo
what is it that makes me pause now?
after so much clarity
am I still plagued by hope
or do I miss the misery
~~~
I must be half realist
half optimist
now drowning in insecurity
caught in the between
sleep it off in a glass of green
~~~
(If I was easy to block,
you would have done it already)
