I had forgotten those moments
Where we didn't need to move much
But I knew I could live forever
If her hand would stay exactly where it was
The half caress and half
Careful resting place of her fingers
Brought me to life and lowered me
Into a coffin, to resurrect me again
And with her under my shoulder
Nothing at all held me down- nothing
Until you poked through the doorway
And said nothing at all
Even in response to my mundane chatter
That's supposed to make you smile
And there was a look in your eyes
Of closed discomfort and maybe shame
That popped my bubble.
Author notes
I thought it would be better to put into words.
It isn't.

Oh I love it! Sometimes the best poetry comes out of such horrible feelings. I felt like i was right there, feeling down with you. Great job.

Thanks for being so sweet and wonderful, Nicole, but it's just stupid stupidness. There's no way to change it, except maybe time.
