Less Than Three

You look at me different

Like no ones ever looked at me

You caress my face, and I melt

I run my fingers through your hair and get lost

Please don’t come find me

You have the power to make me transcend into another world

In a world where its just you and I

Laughing and smiling in a place where there are no quandaries

Nothing that could ever keep us apart

You tuck my hair behind my ear

And my heart feels whole

My soul recognizes something in you

Something I cannot attempt to describe

When good things come to my life

I think of you

When bad thoughts come to my head

Your voice heals me . . .

 

Then reality sets in

The tears come rolling down uncontrollably

Pain radiates from my torso

My stomach and heart feel as if they’re being ripped out of my body

Tears faster now, like waves crashing against the shores of my quivering lips

You hear me now, my cheeks flush with embarrassment

Your eyes fill with remorse as you see me upset for the first time

I have to go soon

But the thought of not being with you makes my soul cry

I feel my heart break as words from your soft lips are not what I needed to hear

I changed the rules

I know, this isn’t what we both agreed to

But wont you change the rules with me?
