Away
from the absurdity of
the word, around
us is a sphere
of cautious emotion
Away
from the insane glare of
reality
there’s just you
and me.
And I dance,
swirling skirts
made of my
fragile feelings
flutter in the wind.
No song,
just your heartbeat.
Away
from your life and my past
the way things were
how they shoulda been.
Away
from whatever
that thing is that
keeps you away
from me.
that makes me
the wrong decision to make.
We look at one another but
don’t smile
don’t speak
And I silently pray
you see love in my eyes
while I search for life in yours.
Away
from the fears
we both wrap up in at night
like children in blankies
Instead of holding each other
we cling to
crippling phobias
about love and
what it does,
what it looks like,
what it says.
Things we need to put
away.
