Strangled

Struggling in the corners of my mind I try to figure this out

Confusion strengthens; as the cloud appears I hide.

Do I want to know? Should I know?

Do I want to pop this balloon of bliss and have nothing anymore?

But I must know. It’s imperative that I do.

It’s imperative that I know what is likely to be before I take another step.

I like the slowness of everything

I don’t want it to change.

But are we slowly moving towards that which we will quickly back away from?

This is serious.

Not like other simple tasks with jesters of reality; but quite serious.

A man of his words that echo through the night and breathes deeply in the morning.

I bleed my thoughts on paper the only way I know how as I languish the thought of expecting favour.

The only thing on my mind is why did you do this again?

Until a quiet voice said, “He is not him.”

My heart quickened then slowed to the stillness it needs

Then quickens again when I asked, “what does that even mean for me?”

As the terror sets in and the waves slow the question that lingers is…”What if he chooses me?”
