Eyes locking like safes
Across hallways and crowds
Smiles whispering greetings
When words were not enough
And too much all at once
After all this time
Now you see me
❀
Your gaze meeting the ground
Mine kissing the sky
Shoulders no longer brushing
And lips no longer turning up
After finally seeing me
Now you don’t
❀
Words like ‘beautiful’
And phrases like ‘I know you’
Goodnights and fleeting sleep
And the world changing colour
Now you love me
❀
Evaporation and emptiness
Bleeding cuts and stained bandages
Shattered pieces and answers
Replaced with silences
You used to love me
Now you don’t
❀❀❀❀❀
