Sitting in front of telephone pole 1374848. For the past 30 minutes feeling the sun set across my face. By the train tracks trying to avoid you but looking for you at the same time. I try to run from the thoughts in my head but they follow me relentlessly like sharks to chummed water. If I could just calm my head for a moment I’d be okay but these thoughts come one after another, breaking upon my consciousness like waves onto the shore. Persistent and determined to remind me with each pulse they create. I can feel my heart beating heavy and see my fingers trembling on the steering wheel I’m pathetically holding onto as if it will bring some sort of salvation. Cheeks are hot with sunlight and saline and I find myself holding breath as it stays my mind but only momentarily because at some point I have to take another and feel it all again.

I’ll provide the the flame.
While you provide the cold shoulder.
Demons in your head came to call.
And I felt you move a little closer.
