Dreaming

-

By Melissa IngoldsbyPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

i rediscovered you like an old favorite song

I listened deeply like a first breath after a long swim

I dreamed of you over and over like a loop

The song felt too happy for me to get the right vibes

Your big curves hit my ears like that beginning that makes me feel alive

The whole damn thing makes me sick

I don’t give a damn, I’ll listen again

My heart is full of weak water, all my salt left me and crawled out into the misty moonlight

I don’t even want to hear it

But I crave you in my soul

Itchy, unrested, tired body is human

Too much human

I’m dreaming of shapeshifters into the night

I’m dreaming of dying again, never again

Going into the putrid light
