wonderwallflower

i do not feel infinite
clear skies tonight, endless rings
of lighthouses calling us back
forward
i do not feel sad
only troubled

they said we would find ourselves
in the mirror on sunny sundays
and we believed them, which
is funny because
they were wrong
and we didn't
so we sit on walls and wonder

the north sea seems so
close, between you and me
waiting to shipwreck us all
and this is a secret, isn't it?
we have nothing left to wreck
but we will do it anyways.

"and in that moment, i swear we were infinite."

i can't remember if i even liked that book, but i think it was one of those that i wanted to like.
