awkwardness and hope

hope
dangles on a string
like slow-spinning redemption
winding in, and winding out
the shine of it has caught my eye
~vindicated; dashboard confessional

just out of reach and teasing me is the end of term with a lot of stuff to do between now and then.
and mixing in the personal makes things so much more complex. i have never felt so awkward here as the past two days have made me feel and it is not pleasant.
