the feeling of the bubbling has become a familiar one 

the elevation of it is a comfort in some cynical way


the heat always remains in you

no matter the amount of coolness that comes and goes


confused by what brings the heat 

everything causes the heat to come forward 


the sensation of the heat huddling in your arms

there’s a pressure in them 


a pressure like an animal stuck in a cage 

it’s as if the pressure is stuck and trying to make its way out


there is no way out


not without causing conflict 

 


conflict 

 


is it really that bad if it’s something you thrive off of 

 


conflict 

 


something you’ve been raised around that it’s comforting and nostalgic 

 


conflict 

 


something that will always stay with you 


it goes hand in hand with the heat 

the two mixing together and opening their arms as if to say it’s okay you’re home now


it’s peculiar


how quickly you run to the two without a single thought to it

how quickly you embrace it is similar to a child embracing their mother


you’re blinded by the comfort and familiarity the heat and conflict always bring

the feeling of nostalgia is the first thing in your paracentral vision


they will always be home 


they will always be welcomed
