Running from the Empty Sky

Drip
drip.
Where the ceiling leaks.
Drip
drip.

And here I am, sitting cross-legged on the hardwood floor of the highest room in this very old house; my mind.

Racing thoughts, my wild imaginations run full speed; full circle.

Everything I seek; forbidden
everything I have; destroyed
nothing left to do but
lie under the sky
that doesn’t answer me
and feel small
and alone.

Hello.
Have we met?
I think we have.
If not, we shall.
With passing,
like the weights shifting,
we move towards
each other's pull like
gravity holds us here
like prisoners.
I long to be near you,
whoever you are.
Please long to be
near me
too.

-I'm Amanda.
