i keep staring at the cracks in the ceiling, waiting for them to become something recognizable.  
but they're just cracks, & however long i stare, the tiny fissures stay random & unremarkable—with no meaning at all.

i fall prey to the art of apathy.
i often lie stoic & unmoving on my bed. thinking about how much it hurts—how it's just always been too impossible to let someone in.

then there's you, with your cracked open heart and well-worn smile.
a smile you use shamelessly when you're happy. & even when you're not.
then there's those moments. the one's where i'm feeling like the most invisible person in the room, & somehow, in your eyes i become something almost beautiful.

i wish i didn't think about us, not just yet.
it's too soon, & i'm too close to you now to ever let you go.
