The Gnarl

likepilateihaveadog

Had a bad day today
Hard to say
Why
When I woke up, started
The gnarl of it all
Gripping tight as I stretched back
Pulling it taut
Rub the eyes
Wonder why
I tried to take a breath
Do it myself
When I realized
Help
Isn't so horrible
Every once in a while
Walked away myself
As we always do
Tend to forget this aloneness
So intrinsic
Built inside
Tend to hide
Anyway
Got back, stretched again
The gnarl loosened
Until tomorrow
When my dreams
Subside, hide inside
You evaporate so quickly
Leaving me
With myself.
