Eclipse (Ashley)

At my core, I feel good
My essence is assured
But there's so many layers to get there
So much build-up
So many left their mark on me
The non-literal wound of a heart broken

I sat on the side of a quarry
As the moon came to hug the sun
An abusive lover casting shadows
As it reaches in for a kiss

What eclipses me
In my life?
In my life?

I asked inside, palms turned up
"What diverges me
From my highest potential?
Highest purpose?"
Ha, ha, myself

What eclipses me
In my life?
In my life?

Myself, at the age of twenty-seven
Questioning that the universe doesn't trust in me
Have a plan for me
Like we can find ourselves, our self
It's in the tall grass
It's in her long hair
In her dark eyes, hologram nails
The love of two women
My best friend, Ashley
Ashley
Ashley
Ashley
Ashley

What eclipses me
In my life?
In my life?
What eclipses me
In my life?
