And rightfully so as it wasn’t the right time
It was really no time at all
The temporary station we’d taken
Where you picked me apart and I allowed it
Where I fell to pieces and you walked around me
It was for my benefit
I’m not ready but I’ll never be
Not for the things I don’t understand
Not for things I’m looking for you to show me
Maybe I’m looking for a mentor in a chimera
You’ll wait for the ephemeral piece of me
Why when it was returned so carefully
You ripped me from my reality and cradled me in your care
You shined a light on me to destroy the shadow you built
Spiraling into my habit of immediacy in a world that revolves around taking it’s time
Maybe it’s only temporary
Maybe it’s only casual
Maybe I’m looking for permanence in cursory gazes
All I know is I’ve been returned
