she said you are prisoner of your feet
a rootless tree on fleet!
I said no one told me
I needed to fit
I walk to find, to meet
all of it
she didn't realize what
she wanted to mean
I am incapable of
arriving
She walked away a while later
but I told to her wake.
My heart sure is higher than my feet
yet never without, not even a beat.
This poem explored self-awareness through relationship dynamics of a couple. It hints how communication between two might have multiple levels despite both not being fully aware.
