Closed away

Reflecting ones self is like looking in a mirror,

I see her but don’t recognize the density of her thoughts.

Expecting my dreams and fantasies to be real, is not what actually happens.

The box I live in is safe and as real to me as anything else.

I peeked into the real world, like the voyeur that I am….

It’s not a sexual thing anymore, it’s a safe thing…unengaged with the world.

Finally went deep into the rabbit hole and it’s safe here.

I remember the battles I have had….the relationships that never reached their potential.

One minute your in a blissful bubble and next you are at war.

I miss what could have been…I miss what I wanted and never received…..

I miss unconditional love, whatever that may have been or could have been.

Probably my fault but maybe not. Not sure anymore as I was never confident

about my emotion safety.

I think that was the problem all along….I never ever felt safe. In any aspect of my life…

so now…..

I recently tried to take a step

A small one….

but when there was a response, I burrowed.

Not healthy, I know…don’t want any conflict…no that is wrong…

I believe things will not be different.

So…I watch from afar…watch her life move and ebb without me.

It is strange that I have turtled so much, maybe life right now has

allowed me to dig in deeper.

Do you think when “normal” comes back, I’ll pop my head out like a goffer?

Who knows…I do know I like my safe bubble a little to much.
