I gazed at him
He had familiar eyes
Soothing
For it was as if
A simple glance
Could somehow keep me safe.
Concerned
For despite this comfort
I seemed to notice
A reflection of my past.
Was it
Seemingly disrupting
The new beauty
I’d just discovered?
Apprehension
For alI wanted was to see the future—
a light that could spark
A new beginning.
Relief again
For perhaps it is as if
He holds pieces of my whole world
Inside of his tiny pupils.

Could somehow keep me safe.
Concerned

Apprehension
For alI wanted was to see the future—
a light that could spark
A new beginning.
Relief again
For perhaps it is as if
He holds pieces of my whole world
Inside of his tiny pupils.
