It's always something
Respite for the chronically unlucky
Of course, it’s like this.
Always has been.
The incorrect order.
The stolen package.
The abusive partner.
The tragic statistic.
Worst case scenario?
Coming my way.
Absorb that bad luck
So you don’t have to!
I deign to dream
I’ll break free of this infinity,
But fear I may find
That's how it is for some.
Of course, it’s like this.
Always has been.
I blink off melancholia
Tilt my head toward the sun
Conjure my destination:
Our new place. Our home.
Gentle arms wait
To envelop me.
Share woes and fears
As you stroke my curls.
“Do you think it’s possible
To stay this happy?”
We cook dinner together
Laugh and eat on the patio.
Of course, it’s like this.
Always will be.
