You pull and tug until it is broken
But I know you have them-
These moral boundaries and obligations-
You have left me in a stupor
I can’t tell where you are
And that’s all I want to know
I keep you with me
Try to read you through your clothing
That you left on my bed.
I long to see a smile
Grace your lips again
I do not intend to be provocative
So if my words are unintentionally erotic
I apologize but
You have made me comfortable
In my own skin
Comfortable to be me
To bare my soul, my self
It’s all out on the table now.
Your percentages and uncertainties
Your words ring out through my head
I can’t tell if you’re smiling
But my heart speaks to you through
This paper and pencil-
I miss you.
