Many days and several ways you are on my mind
How to get to you, how to keep you close
I try to hold on
But you always disappear
Behind the everyday things
I feel your presence but you are lost
I swear you were just here
When our paths align again
I promise this encounter will end in my favour
Alas maybe not
You win,
Heavy in my hand and then nothing
I like to gather you
Or more so your losses
Stacking memories of you upon one another
Until there are too many too count
Were you ever here?
As time passes your importance does not diminish
You do in fact become more desirable
And more elusive
Even when you’re around long enough to provide
Security and hope
It is a fool’s game
Damned necessity
Crooked dependability
You are dollars and bills
Chains meant to distract, seduce and imprison
Invented by those you serve
Well done.
