Month: January 2019

I shouldn’t
Close my eyes
Because
Someone else
May notice
But if I
Blink very
Very
Very
Slowly
They’ll still think
I’m paying attention
Sort of

I didn’t
Mean to
Disturb you
But you
Looked too cozy
Drifting along
The surface
Of your life
And so
Like a pebble
I wanted
To see
If you’d
Notice me
Getting into
The water nearby

What I gave
Is yours
To keep
Even if
You may
Not remember me

The space
Between
Will always
Mean
A closeness
Never shared

Despite my
Secrets
Bared
And no truths
Spared
True friendship
Remains
To be
Seen

When my enthusiasm
Belongs here
No more–

I’m glad
You’re
One size
Too small

Something moved
My heavy
Heart
Was that
You?
Can you
Do that
Again?
I want
To believe
But I
Need
Proof

Oh how I tried
To live
Inside the box
I built around
Myself
Now I’m
Not sure
If I’m
Safe here
Anymore

And so
I will
Make
Mistakes
And you
Probably
Will
Forgive me–
But can I
Ever forgive
Myself
For being
Human?

I’ve heard
Rumors
Of your
Existence
So I want to
Take a peek
Even if you
May be
A cursed book
To me

Once I
See just
The cover
And realize
I have
Finally
Found you
Will I be
Able to
Look away?

And when
I read
Parts of
Your story
Will I become
A follower
In your cult
Dying to
Read a page
Everyday?

Like a
Child
I sometimes
Daydream
What it
Would be like
To grow up
To have
The things
You have
To feel
The emotions
You feel
To know
What you
Know
