i just

i’ve stopped dreaming about/
looking out for you in the crowd.
the clouds; i don’t count the
stars between us anymore;
i just count, i just dream,
i just aspire to become greater
things without being entangled.
you were a distraction-unhealthy
and throbbing like a poison;
ive found other passions,
other men who know how
to handle my flames and
treat my thorns like flowers
