i watch

the trees dance

in every direction you move

i see

the birds fly

above your every step

i hope

in due time

i can finally touch your soul

i pity

all the time

you for pitying me

i look

in every direction

for any sign of you

i lie

to open eyes

to keep the peace instilled

i turn

into a burning flame

whenever they say your name

Writing helps me express things I don’t know how to rid my brain of otherwise.
