Small distractions, they can be a blessing. Allowing me to stop overthinking everything.
Small distractions are what keep my gears from turning in a very specific thought.
Small distractions are what keep me...Me.
Sometimes I am afraid of shutting my eyes, of welcoming the night in hopes that when I wake up, I might not be dreaming.
Dreams, they are...confusing at times. Like memories.
Mixed in with thoughts from the past and the present and the future.
Unknowingly teasing, pulling me closer.
But sometimes it feels like they are pushing me further.
Further away.
Then time is missing. And I find myself in a state of daydreaming. Watching the people pass me by, the music play out like a broken record, and the scents in the air frozen in time.
So yes, all I can do is read. And hope You are not lying to me.
I know You hide things from me, that You erase certain conversations and that You play Your chess pieces towards Your end of the board.
In hopes that it is my piece that You knock over.
But all I have is Peace, when You are not around, and guess what, those little annoyances? Yes, those...they are important to me.
So how about You read up.
Pay attention, in between the lines, because You might miss it.
I am taking You down with me if need be.
