Stutter like i do

Labels: photography, theme

just when i really needed you this week
you let me down.
T minus 2.5 days and counting.
no, make that T minus 1.5 days (accounting for the CPR class you signed up for) -
i blame you for that too.
what a mistake.

a bowl of applesauce would be far more useful than you.

just when i really needed you this week
you let me down.

just when i really need to focus,
my brain turns into mush.

this is ridiculous.

one summer.
one summer -
that's all it took.

so childish, so...obvious.
what are we now?
barely even friends.

this is hogwash.

will you even...
look me in the eye when you say "hi"?
speak to me like a real person?

i can't even begin to understand.
one minute in your company,
the next a stranger in the periphery.

what is this?

i'll tell you what -

this is ridiculous.

please do.

i don't want to love the wind if it's not you
i'm so tired of the stale air - this stalemate
the desert moves, but i -
i stay in place
the illusion keeps on
but i know what's real

you are.

sweep me off my feet
i want to feel the breeze

shutter bug
flashing by
catches souls
glares in eyes

flutter-by
grazes skin
turns all gazes
outside in
the flush of chagrin
begins again

bumble be
knock-kneed shuffle
every time
i hear the rustle
of sure-footed steps
of short blond hair
of your name
blown in the air

stutter fly
comes in once more
my gaze falls short
as before
my voice fades silent
as you turn my way
my heart turns over
in its place
i hide my face
as you walk away
