You are an echoing, enimatic as the short distance home.
You’re a lame light,
dulling and fizzing out as I slip into sleep.
You’re a flashlight, a beacon when my limbs are clumsy and I can’t see.
Don’t let your keen visage die on me.

You are an echoing.
I have never met.
I have never experienced you nor had the chance to regret.

You make me believe I stand a chance against the hard grains, the pavement under my feet, the rain pelting my back.

My napsack grows heavier as I carry everything with me.
I’m running still though a stronger part of me is resisting the urge to sprint.
Sprinting faster into the curve, the great beyond of places, I’ve never been so unnerved.

I reach to find you in blank faces.
The light just shines barely but still with time.
It’s time I try to sleep but roaming thoughts meander within me.
I wonder if you have ever felt me like I sense you, too.

    One thing about you, you’re a mystery. One picture, you look like a teenager. Another one, a woman in her 30’s.

    I guess this is why you write intriguingly.

    I am actually thirty but I do still look like I’m a teenager according to almost
    everyone which I do not mind. 🙂 Looking young runs in the family. I mean I’m not old exactly but you know what I mean.

    She’s a lady
    She’s a child
    She’ll make you crazy
    She’ll drive ya wild
    But she always leaves her audience with a smile.

        Oh . Now I feel daft. I listened to country music all throughout early 90s and 2000s. I should’ve recognized this. Ha.
