flags.

stationary.
waving you down.
traveling.
easing myself in.
getting your attention.
sleeping beside you now.
inching my way closer.
tuck me in.
flags waving behind you.
inside me.
all around you.
breathe in and out.
sweet scent of autumn.
holding glances.
i hate myself for this
longing that won't subside.
i am always denied.
my right to breathe.
breathe on.
teething on.
soaking up.
flags show you
my scarlet cup.
don't come near.
steer clear.
if you don't want me to speak,
then close your ears.
here they come.
all my words.
(flags.)
my heart no longer shut in.
starving.
reckless scarring.
well, what will make me stop?
stomach drop.
familiar.
used to being held down.
the ripping of my gown.
no more dreams to hold.
dreams gone cold.
stale as old.
old.
visions of the future.
coming around.
i am bound.
by the sound...
of your voice.
glimpses.
short amounts of time.
distance.
distanc.
distan.
dista.
dist.
dis.
di.
d.
distant flags.
