You've got brown eyes
Oh,
You've got grey eyes
Oh,
You've got blue eyes
and I'll watch you go
I don't make eye contact or say hello with the cute, talented boy in my class.
He's weird, but I know I could take it. But.
It's because I'm tired of being cut on the way up to the way down.
I hope that I can see him again when someone with more courage stands in these shoes,
that knows what to say and how not to use--
--to use and use these spots of mine
that shed with touch and the setting sun.
Spaces where the taxidermied remnants of partners lie bare
from the times I lacked the effort, or time, or was too scared
to ask them not to go, or ask them their name, or, "I'm sorry, forgive me?"
I let a hand go
I pull away from a kiss.
I don't know what's wrong with me
or who I do or do not miss.
