Fading In

Day in and day out, hope slowly fades out like a candle flickering against the wind.
I can’t help but wonder if moving forward is the best thing at this point.
Roaming free and unleashed, I can’t seem to find my way back to you.
Racing through the desert on the darkest of days.
Cellular reception fading in and out with each growing step to being forgotten.
Maybe that’s what I want.
Maybe that’s what I need…
To fade away.
The thought of being forgotten has made my mind rethink everything that I though was accurate.
Accuracy is nothing like it seems.
Fortunate for that glimmer of hope suppressed by the darkened cloud that will soon shower me with the coolness of harsh droplets.
Fading into nothing but an oblivion of dark holes with doors leading to the unknown.
My arms spread wide like the eagle that I am.
My neck stretched out taking it all in.
Sweet drops planting themselves upon my cheeks as  I fade back in.

Traveling Bunnies

The news travels fast
My heart nearly leapt from my chest.
The thought of leaving this place swiftly tears at me as I look at you for reassurance that we’ll be ok.
Your hand against mine and the squeeze of my tendons pressing against one another in this embrace was more than enough to know that whenever we go from here we’ll be fine.
Wishing for more news on our fate.
Do we leave or do we stay?
From the beginning I’ve always had one foot in the grave
Preparing for the worst possible outcome, enough reason for me to not unpack for no more than a day.
We’ve survived worse
As long as you promise never to release me then I will trust in this embrace and follow you ‘til the end of time.
