My Body of Water

[Gia Powers]

She's been running
into buildings and into nothing
and into her own misguided thoughts.

This morning when i watched her wake
before she cried to start her day
before she put on running clothes
with running shoes and a snotty nose,
i caught her staring at my chest.
Where she lays her head when it needs rest.
And little dried up spots of snot
and sleep gathered in her eye in spots,
as her natural juices littered her face
i asked if she was ready to race.
'Are you ready to run faster
than what you are running from?'
She says to me 'I'm so tired,
To tired to run, I'm too tired to run.'

20 plus years of running away
from years of love and wasting days.
i'm a comfort to her and her head
Her eyes never left my chest or rather her bed.
i opened my arms to her again
she came to me like she had never been
i held her as she cried today
As she does to start her day
But something different, she got undressed
And lay her head upon my chest.
Her tears gathered into a puddle and soon a stream
And her tears made a flowing river on my chest and me.

[up all night]

I like this one... especially the opening lines.

She's been running
into buildings and into nothing
and into her own misguided thoughts.

I'm thinking about making that my signature... would you mind?

Thanks for the appreciation
