a glimpse

by @ivoryrowes

Of one single fragment of a moment slipped through my fingers I tried to the press rewind button but It jammed in on itself and is now Footage just looping over and over again A surveillance camera catching a robbery of sorts A heart robbery And we're looking for suspects But the faces are fading into the backgrounds And magnifying close-up, it is harder to see Everything pixels across the screen Like trails from tripping eyes Just another left-wondering motion Double-taking, staring hard I only see what I want to see Was it you? I guess I'll never know I see pieces of everyone everywhere I go.
