the most sincere i can be

do you think everything should have remained the way it was
but the way it was was devoid of faith. was was.
some tautologies are deliberate because meaning is born from repetition
and you have never been one to care about words like that. maybe.
let us lay honestly and then when the dog comes back
from his routine walk, he will roll himself clean on the mat
and settle down to sleep for the night. peace.
i long for laughing children growing up in my dreams
and my heart is resting easy
a rom-com has restored my faith in the world.
