when trying isn't enough

echo-

sometimes, most of the time
it is difficult to hear from the past
much less think about it

a simple, awkward, meaningless
pause- in the conversation
can send echos throughout the body

you forget where you are, and are back
back making those choices once again
and it can make you wonder
how you got here, today

Goodbye, moth

i can’t help but think
that i’ve some some terrible error
along the way

we all make mistakes
sure

but it feels like it would be worse
to forgive myself for what
i have passed up

we were looking at stars last night
the heavens filled with pins of light
they stretch across the sky like scars
a roof of holes, a roof of stars

we’re in a world that’s full of holes
like our bruised and battered souls
tears too many for the eye to count
enough to fill our hearts with doubt

we’ve never seen the back of the sky
it’s more than impossible, so don’t even try

so here we are, just spotting stars
and if stars are souls and souls are holes
remember,
they’re there to let the light in

your heart is for loving
your life is for living
but your soul is not for giving

between asphalt and sheet metal
mixed quietly within the bright
yellow
lines

strange
how I am lodged betwixt machines
which are designed to make travelers
safe yet I feel I am defenseless
exposed

saying goodbye must do that
along with the knowledge that
you won’t be leaving the same way you came
safely

i’m taking down my wishing star,
peeling back the wonder

my arms reach towards heaven
only to be blocked
by the realization that
wishing only carries you so far

i’m wishing down my wishing star

when trying isn’t enough
it helps let a person know
what they can and cannot do
