📷📸 It took too many years for you to find me. Someone should be ashamed but I'm not sure who. Maybe you can help me figure that out. This blame is burning a hole in my pocket and it deserves to be kicked over to someone else. #photography #art #liminalspace #nightphotography

📷📸 I used to make fun of all the people who got lost in here. Now I'm lost too. Jokes on me, I guess. No one would ever get lost again if they just cut all of this down, blended it to bits and burned it. Well, if you want a job done right... #photography #art #abstract #longexposure

📷📸 The well on their side has run dry
Envious eyes peer over the divide
A hand reaches out, asking for charity
But we both know what will happen if we extend our generosity
Kiss your arm goodbye

📷📸 When we locked eyes while we were out
I averted my gaze but you did not
My attention drawn to losing your attention
But you made a bee line for me
I had fallen for the oldest trick in the book
Here comes the shark's fin

📷📸 When heaven sent you everything changed
A fixation formed, inescapable
You replaced my core, my every thought
Every room upstairs taken up by your clutter
It's too bad that only now I realize
After all of the destruction
Where you were really sent from

A little show of gratitude would be nice
From time to time

All of that work, for this?
Could you be the only thing
That I was wrong about?

📷📸 Shelter?
A precious gift is being given to you for free
And you want to shield yourself from it?
No.
Turn your head up and let it soak into you
Until you're saturated and heavy
Some day you'll understand
How important it is
To bear the weight

Because we love you, you monster

To be lost in the woods like this
Let me take you under my wings
Where you will be kept safe and pampered
Until I succumb to boredom or hunger
And love you even more

Feeling lost? Consider yourself lucky that you're feeling anything at all. There are people who have lost everything in this jungle. Nothing in here will jump out and get you, but that doesn't make it safe. One lapse in concentration, one wrong turn and it's over. #photography #art

Maybe they don't think at all. Do you people just coast through life, sails open, catching whatever winds will steer you? I wish I could be so brave, but no such luck. Maybe all this dread is itself my destiny. Much to think about.
I just wish I still fit in the old places.

📷📸 It's hard to believe, but we really are on our own now. Pushed out of the nest like a fledgling chick. Everyone seems so confident, like they were ready for it straight out of the womb, but here I am still quivering and panicking over what direction I should be heading. #photography #art
