if i stop
and think
i get so
choked up
by self doubt
i cannot breathe.

it isn’t
auto pilot
as much as
perpetual
motion.

come closer,
my love,
and let us
break the laws
of physics
together.

maybe you can
stop my brain
from chewing itself
distract me with
your beautiful soul.

the skies are
heavy and gray
and your smile
is the only sunshine
that can possibly
brighten my day.
