Maturity Equals Fear

Swirling enveloped by the sun
Staring at the sky 
Trying to outrun
The sign
Of ambiguity

Dancing in the snow
Inhaling frigid air
Wanting to know
How far fantasy 
Is from reality?

Painting on stained canvas
Picturing us together
Yearning to go back to the beginning
Back to a clean slate 
To white canvas 

Digging for remnants of who we used to be 
Searching for shards of who we were
I need you, like I need the sun
I need you to hold my hand 
I need a friend

Stay with me
Before we disintegrate into the sea
Vanish into the air
Forget without a care
Shackled to a nameless fear.
