Attention stretched thin

Eyes weary, mind straining

Seeking silent shade

Finding only brighter patches

Glance upward silently

Things seem so uniform

The sun hangs

Low over this fantasy

Let it set

I’ve lost the desire

To look behind

Checking for your footprints

You don’t care

Or maybe I don’t

Maybe I lost

The portion that cared

Or you did

Let me move forward

I’ve grown tired

Of waiting here hoping

To interpret you

Things are unchanged again

So I’m changing

Because I can’t sit

Waiting for reprieve

Or easier, cool evenings

If a half-promise

Is my only boon
