sensation

taking a minute of rest,

feel this sensation in my chest

makes me nervous, blissful, scared

– makes me feel the best.

the best i’ve felt in days

took turns and chose wrong ways

but right now here in this place

i’m home.

not in the city i grew up in

or the one i moved to when i was twelve,

or the one i moved to when i was fifteen,

or the one i moved to when i was eighteen,

this is the safest i’ve ever been.

the darkness outside

makes the feeling right.

there’s only me tonight,

the sensation, and the blue night sky.

sitting in the car,

i’ll go far

far away this time.

this sensation feels sublime.

playing that song again.

the one that played when

we first met.

that day is over,

the moment’s gone,

but not that sensation

– it lives on.
