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
