Homeostasis

This pain in my right side

Up under my ribs..

(Intermittent)

It’s distracting

Try to ignore it.

The pain in my jaw

(Chronic)

Hurts to talk, to think, to live

Your eyes though

You don’t speak, they do

It’s ok love

You’re gonna live forever

For a long, long time

Homeostasis will come?

You’re gonna do your thing

(Whatever that is)

You’ll figure it out

(Maybe)

Look into your own eyes

Who are(were) you

Back when?

I’m looking into a stranger’s eyes

No?

Don’t hide. Don’t lie

I see everything

Time ticks and tocks away

Dreams get more vivid

Wake up in a panic 

Grab my hand

Fingers intertwine and I know

For this moment at least I know

It’ll be ok

When it builds 

I choke it back

scribble it out quickly

And look

What a shame

Never what I imagined it to be

What a mess full of black smudges and lines

Ugly, harsh

Let’s lock it up

The color right now hurts my eyes

It’s so vibrant

Sound is more intense

More melodramatic

Dream/sound scapes sweep 

Stretch it out

Go with it

But it knocks the wind right outta of me
