Literature Text

You are not a sunrise,
but the headlights
of a car
rounding my corner in the night.

But either way,
I will stand
here

With
mystery meat emotions
taking over me,
I will stand.

Oh yes,
I will be a stranger,
but I'll be standing.

And you.

You.

You are not a wildflower,
but a candy bar rapper
thrown carelessly
into the hungry arms of the night.

You are not a sunrise
And I am not myself

But either way,
I will stand.
Been playing around in my head for a while.

Thoughts?

"You are not a sunrise,but the headlights of a car rounding my corner in the night."
That first one especially, umm I hope you dont mind about my interpretation of it:
Basically something jaded, the "headlights" (I'm taking it is a person) wants to be the sunrise (something great and wonderful), but in reality they're just the sudden burst of light when its already dark outside, in other words, a disappointment.
Not trying to dissect the poem or anything XD just certain sentences really speak to me.
Thank you for sharing your writing! :hug:
