wishful thinking

i want to think of heartbreak but a bird taking flight distracts me.
i want to brood over old ties come undone but 
the neighbourhood is rejoicing in the birth of my neighbour's daughter.
i want to read old diaries but new poems are pushing me to stationery shops.
I want to float in memories but am drowning in the possibilities of the future.
I want to sleep and be lost to the world but the damned doorbell  keeps ringing.
i want to look for you but all over am surrounded by mirrors.
i want to.but dont need to. or the other way around.
when night falls and i switch off the lights
there is only me.and you are fading.
