wake up

breathe hard.
it isn't cold and it isn't early and it isn't...

oh.

climb out of bed.
sit on the edge.
it isn't dirty and it isn't quiet and it isn't...

oh.

i am forgetting myself again.

no cold walk outside where the dirt is soft and wet.
no silly hello from the boy who sat with the morning and was comforted.
no. no. no.

oh.

i reach for my neck, for the paper that said my name, for the way they said my name, but it isn't there anymore.

oh.

still got that smudge where he ran the marker gently along my hand and laughed. still got that scar from where i was too clumsy to keep going. still got that...hole.

in my heart.

oh.

i am forgetting myself again.

i close my eyes and i am back beneath the stars and we are together and they shall never forget me and i shall never forget them and we shall never be afraid again. i must be there. it must be real.

oh.

i open my eyes.
i am awake and this is not there. i so wish it was.
but i am forgetting myself again.

p.s. the world is not like it was, and i'm dying. oh God of miracles, where art Thou now? i want to go back to camp.

    1. i totally got you. but i also know, somewhere deep down, that the hurt is worth every glorious second. because it's the hurt that keeps me breathing, yeah? keeps me tender. i can't stop loving out of fear of hurting, because the pain is never more than we can stand. God is good! God is good. ♥
