I Wanna Know You Better

This song keeps

Repeating on my

Playlist

“I miss you more than I remember you”

It echos hauntingly

In a familiar frequency

Heart pounds

With a beat that

Pounds your name

I deny you and it

Pounds deeper

A magnetic pull

I’ve tried so long

To run from

Documenting my

Findings over the years

Writing it down and researching

To understand what happened to me

Made me realize ultimately

I wanna know me better

I missed myself all these years

I outsourced for too long

Brought it back home

Made myself safe

Drawn runes of protection

Around my space

I lay my head down

Wrap my arms

Around myself

Yearning to unify what’s left

I wanna know you better
