Familiarity

Sameness I can avoid I know what your skin smells like in the morning And I can avoid that I know how your eyes look when you get excited And I can avoid that Familiarity I can’t avoid I know how your spirit feels And I can’t avoid that I am drawn to a familiarity that moves like the wind around your soul It’s in his laugh I can hear the sound coming from your chest when he breathes Sameness is out in the open It is blatant and it is blunt Familiarity is sneaky It comes in the night while I am asleep and makes me feel safe But reminds me in the morning I am not Familiarity seeps into the whole Pretending to make a home But familiarity doesn’t stay
