Camping -
Trees loom far over
YOU
Stars peer from between the pines
Like eyes, watching
YOU
r next move
Water flows under piles of rocks
An invisible river beneath your feet
Like blood, flowing under skin
You and
YOU
are alive in this
A living, breathing heart
Does it not scare
YOU
?
YOU
, sometimes, get terrified.

These feelings that consume
YOU
YOU
know they punish none but one
And yet,
YOU
've torn
YOU
rself in two
For few, if any, think the way that
YOU
do.

Drive -
YOU
stare out onto short stretches of highway
On nights like this, the road feels much longer
There are turns and curves the sun just seems to miss
To
YOU
r right, a friend coiled
up in the passenger seat
How long has it been? Hours, seconds even?
YOU
aren’t sure, but
YOU
don’t seem to mind
This calm could last forever, but
YOU
know it won't
The next turn,
YOU
think, could be the end of this.
Eventually,
YOU
will get where
YOU
must be
YOU
will be the version of
YOU
where this calm is gone
Life will send
YOU
its moments of joy and terror
People will have expectations,
and
YOU
will meet them.
For now, though, in
YOU
r own personal forever
YOU
can live without knowing when the
next turn will come.

Stare, wild eyes and curious.
A world
YOU
shouldn't have seen.
Just beyond our thinly veiled lie of reality
sits a truth of unsurmountable proportion.
As
YOU
've now seen it;
It, too, sees
YOU
.
YOU
can pull away but the memory itself
would never shed it's permanence.
It, too, sees
YOU
.
YOU
try to move or blink or anything
to still no avail.
It, too, breathes
YOU
.
It's closer and its breath is not enough to move
YOU
.
It, too, feels
YOU
.
Soft and encapsulating, how could this
vileness ever come with any comfort.
It, too, yearns.
For whom?
It, too, saw
YOU
.
For now, it's gone.

If dreams are like death,
Then let us die in each other's
Embrace from now to
Any time we may die again.
