Poems
Oct 2018
Get my eyes some help
it’s a strange feeling
to adjust a pair of eyes
to the sight of anyone else but you
when they’d gotten so used
to being wide awake
pupils sprawling
at every magic glimpse
so they start to look for you in spaces that you won’t appear
even though they know this well
too well
and sometimes
in their crueller moments they like to hit me
in the gut and tell me you’re there
and sometimes you are, nearly
and that’s the point
nearly
almost
but really, nowhere close
and that’s how it is now
nothing comes close
they’ll kid my heart again
and I’ll learn to laugh back
