You sleep and I keep
Outlining your face in my
mind, the way
my hands would run
through your hair if I
dared touch – oh no
I’ve remembered too much!
of your warmth,
your soft and strong, your
caress ~ I am wrong!
Somewhat
longing too long
Trying to move past this phase
of wanting your gaze
Of feeling what I felt,
glances meaning
exactly what they meant
My desires already
poorly spent –
snippets of clarity heading for
where all my common
sense went.
But I will keep my peace,
my eyes will stay to me
My pride to me
The strength that I’ve
derived will
be- What keeps me
from wearing this
heart on my sleeve
again.
