To be found & forget

1 year ago · 0 · Poetry

I built a life to protect me from myself

But then you accidentally found me

And all of the feelings I'd been hiding from

Came, quietly at first,

Until I was stood in field of them all

Swirling and dancing and exploding

For everyone to see

And then you remembered you had somewhere to be

But it was too late

Because I'm still here

Throwing blankets over the fireworks

Trying to harvest the coloured mists

And trying to forget myself again
