ships come ashore with holes in the sails. i stand in place for seven hours. reading every piece of mail. fold origami stars to pass the time. scribble notes to pass the time. anything at all to pass the time until the next life.
~
every day when i'm awake, i wonder when they'll learn i'm a fake. i was born just a year ago, i'd never seen where people go to toss out their paintbrushes. i never came here 'cause i didn't want to know.
there always comes a time to leave, and never a time to believe.
~
but all i want is to be told, "we forgive you, please come home, this place hasn't been the same since the day you left." these are words i'll never hear. i'll just be outside, always near, freezing to death and knowing that this is best.
