Stumbling

GG



Fogged up
Gentle chords running behind
And you, running through my mind
This infatuation, obsession
I’m terrified
Distracting myself with profiles and origami
Brief moments of closeness that mean nothing
Walking around pretending I’m blind
But I know why I do it
Running from you
You scare me
