buried
Taylor Arcand
the most satisfying moment
in my life was the only time
i felt as if i was…
falling,
falling
into anything but a cheap reality
which my therapist tells me is
a sense of false
fucking hope
for a more captivating life.
Some nights when the moon is
buried,
and I marry that fantasy
i still
fall
into that feeling.
