Unsettled

We're in a war of words.

Trying to get settled in this unsettling world.

I can't tell you how many opportunities I've missed with my polaroid because of this change.

But I can tell you

I see your heart everywhere.

Maybe it's because I haven't thought of anything else for weeks.

Maybe it's because I know too many people that aren't getting any better.

Or maybe it's the same reason I never worry when dad's driving in a blizzard.

I can feel it.

Pulsating in place of mine and I'm not sure if it'll ever go back.

I'm not sure if I even want it to.

There's a wildfire spreading in my chest, but no one seems to notice the smoke.
