For once the world isn't about something; it is about everything.
In the tiny little details I find solace. It is the larger concepts that damage my soul. Reverberating through the caverns of my thoughts, caverns deep and dark as the night sky, pierced by ideas and misconceptions instead of stars and headlights. But tonight I am in the city, and the city is never dark. Here you only get the illusion of being alone. Here you are always surrounded; streetlights offer no comfort and still you sleep alone.
Wishing only for some pixie to wrap her hand in mine and drag me out into the abyss, I stare solely at the puddles dampening the air. Thickness folds itself in on everything and makes hot hotter, sticky stickier. It is the gross feeling that should follow rough activity, so misplaced when paired with idle hours.
I yearn for the storms of the weekend. I know truly that I will be left alone for hours of melancholy. I cherish the gods, though, for they are sending me rain to cool my skin and hide my inevitable tears. Under that disguise, I may fool even myself into adventures and happiness. Let no dark princess ruin my days again.
