Space change

Possession

I’ve seen space change

Large to small and larger again

I don’t know what caused it

The universe

Love

For some reason we were drawn to each other

I’ve seen your face change

It wasn’t scary at the time

The thought scares me now

The sight of it in others

Even just the thought

I’ve seen my puppy walk in circles, making space

Stretching like an accordion

No, a wave

Something I can’t quite see

The best we can do is not understand

Not only is it not possible

Is it selfish to want to know?

Just accept

Dawes says things happen

That’s all they ever do

That’s all they ever do

That’s all they ever do

You know, people used to say the same thing about Ted bundy

That he switched

The charisma disappears

Your face shrinks and space disappears

It’s not pretty

Since then, it scares me to see in others

Makes me crazy

Desperate to understand

I try to cast it out

My comfort zone

What I’m used to

It might’ve happened to me

Maybe my face changes in that way

My space

But I know how to change it back

Myself
