resignation.

I sigh my sigh of sighs, thinking that music helps while I watch you in my mind,

my stolen catharsis,  breaking into a smile.

and I am breaking as well, even if music helps, and I watch the horizon go by.
because it is much easier. Much easier to break than to stay. 

I catch you staring, blankly, at something. and you're suddenly beautiful. for the hundred. thousandth. time. and equally painful.

I'll walk a little farther this twilight and keep my mind off things. but not you. and the hundred. thousand. timelines.

break.
