coming from the fan blades.
Another sign, another symptom,
Always someone or something asking me to
Pay attention, and then promptly
Running away when I look up.

No one stays forever.
Everyone wants something from me.

Golden strands and I wish for once
It could all be as beautiful as her.
I've shed enough tears today
And I will shed more tomorrow,
Rain drops that sting like razor blades
And threaten even the best parts of me.

The future is brighter.
This I know.
It lies in dark brown eyes and
Hardwood, the scents of which
Complete me, all the while competing for my attention.

I wish my body loved me as much,
And promised me the life that she did.
