Immortal (day 136)

I don’t think I have time

to love or hate you

but for some reason this body thinks I’m immortal.

 

I don’t want to be dramatic

I don’t want to be like you

breezing into every room like something everybody wants

 

I don’t think I have time

to linger here,

to love and hate you

I’ll just pass you like the background

 

But the world is so lonely like that-

maybe,

for you,

I could be immortal.
