a cup of emo for your day

who is that boy peering at me from behind the door?

I see his face—jubilant and wide-eyed—but he is not me.

an avatar of beauty and potential, Captain Planet and Atticus Finch.

where did he go?

will he return?

God, I wish he would, or if not send me back to that time so I can hold on to him for dear life, tell him not to let go.

this melancholic flesh has crossed many a sea, so I ask again, when will he be me?
