restless reality

restless
gentle butterflies
furiously swarming
like moths searching
and not finding
the flame
restless
feet needing to run
without a destination
no safe harbour
horizons too far
restless
itching
unable to scratch
desires
thoughts and dreams
restless
just another 2am
like all the others
every 24 hours
restless
arms lament
heart agonizes
without tears
listen to the rain
time running out
clock...
tick, tock,
tick, tock
tick
tock
restless
breasts sag
ache
hands search
with longing
blindly seeking
nothing tangible
disappointment
empty aloneness
restless
tough to breathe
chest tight
wandering, wondering
if
the heat of the flame
the journey would make
exquisite moments
sheltered or imprudent
warm or incinerate
restless
tick, tock
shattering
reality
is the clock
