Too Many

Folder: 
2017

My head is busy when you’re around,

so used to motion,

it is working hard at not thinking now.

I often trip over the easy.

 

We are not flawless,

we are not falling apart.

We are somewhere in between.

 

I don’t want to take this state of mind for granted.

I remember too many things you might not want me to

but I want my world to begin and end with you.

 

I want too many nickels,

too many minutes,

too many words to cry and call home.

 

I want too many decisions,

too many moans,

too many breaths I hope I won’t regret.

 

My head is busy when you’re around,

not used to sitting still

and letting every letter slip out

so you can hear it,

I fill it with the freedom to fall

and hope it catches me-

 

will you catch me?
