observations

I watched a barefooted child run through grass
and scream at his mother for the love she wouldn't give.


I watched a girl in black,
fall down on front steps and kiss a boy much too old to
comfort her.


I watched a musician play his last song and then
pack up his guitar and the few quarters he made
and shuffle away.


I watched a boy in love and i wanted to say to him,
"you deserve better." but his eyes told me
not to.

I watched an artist paint magic on my floor
with simple tools and delicate fingers.
and i wanted to cry from the beauty that i
could not make.

I watched you, watching me.
and when i asked you what was there,
you whispered "nothing."
and you
walked back to
your car.

    "scream at his mother for the love she wouldn't give."

    That is so incredibly painful and heartbreaking.

    "i wanted to cry from the beauty that i
    could not make."

    Oh darling.
    What's going on?
    Please talk to me.
    I hope everything is okay.
    I love you lots
    and you know you're my one and only silly bitch
    and more.
    ♥ ♥

    oh... I love these beautiful moments. Each frozen in time - really vivid in my memory - now that I have read your words.
    I really love each of these...
    They are all really well done. With their own unique stories...
    Beautiful
