and then?
Night, my Knight, come save me
From this roiling trouble I have brewed
When unguarded, my mouth spewed
Accidental words
Bashing crashing into accidents
Galore
How many tears, and queries and memories
Precipitated
Blurred
Into a swirl of messy conversation
I’m tired of causing hurt
I’m tired of shedding tears
I’m tired of misunderstanding
And being misunderstood
Mostly, just tired
And tired of this Not-Right
both remembered
and remembered
and remembered
and now
Yes, blurred—
Then and now and future
Wishes and reality
Sometimes I’d wish more blurred
This night,
will you take me home?
I miss you
From this roiling trouble I have brewed
When unguarded, my mouth spewed
Accidental words
Bashing crashing into accidents
Galore
How many tears, and queries and memories
Precipitated
Blurred
Into a swirl of messy conversation
I’m tired of causing hurt
I’m tired of shedding tears
I’m tired of misunderstanding
And being misunderstood
Mostly, just tired
And tired of this Not-Right
both remembered
and remembered
and remembered
and now
Yes, blurred—
Then and now and future
Wishes and reality
Sometimes I’d wish more blurred
This night,
will you take me home?
I miss you
