She is Looking For

Closure
Completion
some semblance of reason
release, forgiveness
Forgetting (no)
we live this
happy ever never
after
winding
road to tears and laughter
here
there
(he's no where near)
we are
silence
in the summer
the night is heat
we're under cover
from the street
sky is yellow
and I address
this loneliness
with a list
of useless lines

on a useless screen

in a useless poem

about a useless dream

that I woke from

when I had meant

to keep sleep
sleep
sleeping
in.
