Loose ends

& Insecurity

Another superficial day

stirring little lies into my morning coffee

a spoon of sugar to make them

sweeter, more palatable

pretend that it's good for me

~~~

Loose ends hidden deftly on a screen

what isn't seen shouldn't bother me

(If you were easy to block,

I would have done it already)

So I leave you on unread

archived words left to haunt and linger

~~~

I could put an end to this silent limbo

what is it that makes me pause now?

after so much clarity

am I still plagued by hope

or do I miss the misery

~~~

I must be half realist

half optimist

now drowning in insecurity

caught in the between

sleep it off in a glass of green

~~~

(If I was easy to block,

you would have done it already)
