Spend

Folder: 
2017

I still hear the echo

of that time I said this is my heart.

 

I still hear the rush

and the pounding I won’t ever tire of.

 

I still spend money

and hours I can’t help but count.

 

I still feel more than I would like

and toss myself into hallways

 

and drown in crowds

with too many faces I will never know

 

the problem with separating my eggs

is carrying all the baskets.

 

I am choosing

these baskets

I am hooking them

over every inch of me

until I drag like I’m made of stone.

 

When I think I taste bitter

your eyes tell me you’re worth it.

 

We are all just looking for people

we won’t regret spending time on.
