He was my holiday
Set in the summer sun
When I didn’t think
Of myself, what I’m not
What I should be
And cannot
He was the sunshine
I bathed in
The sparkle of green
Glittering, sun through the trees
He was fresh, cold water
I jumped into every morning
He was a distraction
From myself, but
He was not forever
Just a thin veil, drawn
Across the reality
Of the person I need to be
Time to wake
From my rest, under the sun
I don’t think he’ll miss me
He was always looking
At the sunset
While I swam in the sea
Unstuck Monsters
