the pages are turning and a thrill comes over me.
a slight pain that jerks my heart
and the sight of candy red drops to my toes.
flashback to years before
my mind is set into that same moment.
what i should have said but i didn’t.
what i could have done but didn’t.
life has changed.
i have changed…for the better.
field of daisies that is my heart
a bunch of balloons that is my soul
the non-existent is what keeps me going.
keeps me hoping,
dreaming,
and living.
