#peeking
I look at you
you glance up
I look away
I glance up
you're looking at me
I glace away
This little dance,
Our peeks and glances
It continues on
I hope you
are braver
than me.

It was the midnight hour
She was running the register
Great smile with a pixie haircut
That is when I noticed
Her history exposed
In tiny cuts
From wrist to elbow
Scars bubbled over her smooth skin
I tried not to look
To read
Her history
In her silence
I knew she had caught me
Peeking

love was unknown to me,
like the girl who saw
the same piece of jewelry everyday,
as she passed the same crossroad for home
but never felt it on her skin.
for it's too costly than the mint paper
and too cheap for an open heart.

I used to talk to fill up the space
Words tripping, fluttering from my mouth
And I became my own white noise
Felt you always lurking in the hallway
Peeking through the doorway until I slammed
The door, loud crash that would reverberate
Slamming into the walls, I hadn’t always
Been so welcoming to you and you had been patient
While I clumsily stumbled and I pushed you away
Afraid of your embrace, my nerves ****** and jumped
Moth wings my lips, and the words tripping, fluttering
From my lips, and you had always been a light
Flickering, hand out-stretched, your smile invited
I don’t know why I had been afraid
