I don’t want to hold onto you anymore, said the voice in my head Oh, but you will regardless, piped my heart, kneeling in a garden of flowers plucking out the weeds one by one.

Same Open Field

Thoughts Like Balloons
Do thoughts of me caress your mind like fingers running through your hair? Because thoughts of you swell in my mind expanding like balloons and popping under the prick of a single pin.
