Scattered

The wind is calm.

The sun beats down.

It’s happening again.

I try and summon any words of substance.

Nothing.

Pacing be damned.

Time moves swiftly.

Mind is but a mere puppet.

Your presence is a warm blanket.

Obsessiveness commences.

Punishment is real.

This is my sentence.

This is preparation.

Attracted to broken people.

Her hand on my shoulder.

The pain dissipates.
