im uncomfortable here
so unsettled
in this place
where they all
want me –
but where
nobody knows
who
i am –
and in those
seconds
of turned out
hearts
and claims
they could never
keep –
i let my arms
go limp –
and perhaps
one sees
a
hearth –
but for
the empty
shell shocked
look
in my sad
complacent
eyes
that have seen too much
that have warped from the tears
that see only
you
seeing me..
