Oblivion

Freshly manicured fingernails
                        anxiously scroll through each page
                        Every poem has too much meaning
                        questions and doubts stab at my uncertainty
                        Newly discovered insecurities arrive with baggage
                        uninvited but they plan to stay
                        until my heart can no longer smile
                        Under my gown
                        A quick run of the hand
                        reveals a slow healing scar
                        and I'm wondering at this moment
                        where you are
                        Then, face down on the glass
                        cheek pressed into a dream
                        I find uneasyness better to live with
                        than oblivion
