Literature Text

chasing sleep at 2am and all I can say is
I want to chase you through
the snow and through the weeks and through this world,
heart pounding over the continents.

and I want to catch you but only because you let me.
running with my eyes closed because I'm following you by feel.

It's strange, writing love poems for someone else. It's strange because I've never written a love poem that wasn't about him, before, never in my life. It's strange because I'm writing the same kind of love poems, feeling the same kind of feeling, for someone who isn't him. It's like breaking the longest habit I've ever had,

writing for someone who doesn't have green eyes.

Your comment is even lovelier than the poem itself. Incredible sensitivity.
