late night texts
such tricky things
back-lit
barbed-wired
declarations
limited character
questions
which
once sent
can’t be taken back
i’m trying to focus
on anything
but a notification
so
i push this little slip
into words
press pen to paper
because i don’t want
to look
to see
to be
either
sure or uncertain
why do i do this?
hastily reach for truth
when
daydreaming what if
could be
such a comfort?
