reality

file me in between
your worst fears
and your greatest dreams

i never was one
or the other

only for a day

to-day we drizzle
into a wet afternoon

full of promises

of food
and to-getherness
searching
and forgiveness

light laughter 
breaking up the clouds

i could sit for hours
and look at your smile
if you'd let me

smile again
and this world changes

bright sunbeams
instead of grey

if only for a day

taking a break

take a break
long enough to forget
what he said

take a break
long enough to feel
what he meant

take a break
long enough
to silence the yells
inside

the growls
outside

the thoughts of
frustration
from all sides

take a break
long enough to forgive
yourself

for not wanting
to forgive things
anymore

(break)
