Twenty-two

twenty-two times around the sun i've been.
and i linger.
around the moon.
twenty four hours.
and i'll be right back.
where i started.
and there's nothing else.
the forget-me-nots you leave behind.
are killing me.
i promise not to stay here.
i promise that i'll try.
although i always seem to miss.
the target is in my sights
