The Best Distraction

Written October 17, 2010

You’re the best distraction.

Neither the time nor the place,
but I’d rather you than those ghosts
in replace.

I’ll take
a hopeless love
over a fruitless dream.

(She and I might be
out of our minds,
but if you’ve never
walked that road,
you wouldn’t know
why we are.)

I’m glad it’s you
and no one else.
