As your eyes go
& your skin turns
away from me
I feel the energy transfer
In heat waves
& headaches;
Apathy.
I look at you
and I’m sorry
for the way that I am.
For you
are all
that I’ve lost;
Sensitivity.
Theres a calm
that comes
when I’m not.
Eyes downcast
only wanting
to be pulled in close.
you do.
You are all that I’m not;
Tenderness.
You hold my face
in your hands
and make me small
When our eyes meet
we go away.
for a moment,
the world quiets.
You are all that I need;
Trust.
Listening now
all I hear
are slow waves
& suddenly
I'm lost
in turquoise.
I want to take you there.
