Sometimes I go back in time

Like we’re stuck on repeat, like we’re stuck in this melody

And every melody is timeless

I’m so done with wasting time

Let me sing you into eternity

But nothing too close to the truth

I wanna lose myself, throw me in the pit of your fire

I’ll be whatever you like

I don’t wanna be alone for the night

But it wouldn’t be enough

It’s getting harder and harder to breathe

...

Once

There was

A little girl

Who longed to be

Taken away by the fae

Transported into a world of magic

And never return to her mundane life...

Am I a fool?

A fool for falling,

For wanting more?

A fool for loving

Who I’m cursed to adore?

My king, my liege

You let me speak

As though I weren’t beneath you

Gods, how I long

To be underneath too

You know how I move

I watch you watching

Do you think of me at night,

The way I think of you?

Am I your delight?

Your most trusted adviser

Despite everything

I cherish the proximity

Riley pup is sweet and good

Most of the time, she’s just misunderstood

Her grandparents think she’s a little stinker

But it isn’t her fault she’s not much of a thinker...

Waiting

Just waiting

The seconds tick by

Excruciating

Could get up if I wanted

Debating

The spectre of sleep hurries slowly

Baiting...

I had so much hope

As I stood in line to vote

That for the first time I’d see

A president who looks like me

A new era for our nation

Where people can rise above their station

And any person can feel strong

As powerful as the day is long

I was ready for a whole new world

Of possibilities unfurled

But now it’s

The day after...

Walking down the path of life

I come to a fork in the trail

My heart says one way

My head says the other

A test I was destined to fail

Rather than choose

I straddle the two

One mistake after another...
