feeling.

By Six-Out

watching chests. rising.
falling-
eyes rest on
the tension. I'm tasting
past.tense in the forging of
moments. that
I'll never let myself forget.

I
pause.

and indecision
takes a back.seat to
the feeling of.
alive

drunk on.
headrushes and the
forget.tal
of heartache. I feel
fear- for the first time
in years.
and I can breathe
a little more easy.
with that chest.
rising
and
falling.

and it's the late nights.
that the lack of sleep
gets me the most.

I turn.
and it hits me.
so I dream.

    Again, did I just stop loving your work? Because I don’t think it matters how you feel about a person you will never stop loving their work if you are a true poet. I can’t explain how close this hits me.

    Hard hitting man. I can't really tell you how I feel about this. I know the emotions, I've been here, but that's not very helpful. I hope when you wake up your dream continues.
