restless

you’d lie awake in your bed at 4am

night after night

sleeping a tormented sleep filled with repetitive dreams, a tiring dance for the mind

where you’d play the same thoughts all over again, the same words, the same faces

afraid to forget

afraid of not being able to remember why you are doing any of this

 

things we call “life” are never too far away from our heart

and you’d remember the beautiful Flinders rose blossoming that warm night

sometime last July.

(as soon as you’d pick it, it would die)

 

you feel that as soon as you let go you’ll die too

and be nothing again.
