The Eclipsed Bookworm
A poetic duo: When our fantasy worlds start to overshadow reality
High Expectations
Expectations overshadow what
could be if I broke free from what I imagine
love might be.
I apologize to all in the shadow of this bookworm's fantasy.
Perhaps I need to start prioritizing what I truly need,
so the love of my life doesn't pass me by because he was
eclipsed by a bookworm's fantasy.

Sunglasses
Escaping reality in the world
created in these pages used to be the sun of my
life. Now it has become the moon blocking me from the
illumination I wish to be standing in.
Please let me free, but stay close by in case I need a little
shade from the blinding light of reality.
Escape should be sunglasses, not permanent darkness.
