Waste

Your mind might be spinning and

Your voice trembling

Your heart may be racing and

Your left foot aching

But love,
Let me share this one simple fact:

You are not crazier today than you were yesterday.

That same mind will keep turning

It’s wheels pushing and pulling

That voice ringing loud above

It’s vibrato eloquent and present

That heart pounding pounding pounding

It’s blood filling you and everyone you meet

That foot pulsing with feeling to remind you

It’s there to keep you from getting too comfortable

Too many words repeating themselves

Always to say the same thing

You are as messy as the rest

As cracked as the first

And as confused as I am.

And let it be known that your craziness will be constant

Until you become complacent

And I would probably stop talking to you if that happened.

You’re too interesting and

Wonderful for your soul to rest.
