I see you

Filed under: danila bloomberg, poetry — ABRAXAS @ 12:01 pm

There is water coming out the sides of my eyes

Leaking dripping involuntary

You know how it is

Swallow down beer in the darkest corner

The cheap stuff whatever they have on tap

Dry peanuts salt that sticks in the back of your throat

Seeds that you knock back to fill any silence

If you fill your body you can fill your soul

I feel so lonely sometimes when I talk to you

And I don’t like how that feels

It didn’t used to be this way

We were once on the same page, weren’t we

There was once a we to speak of

My body is shaking now but I say I’m cold

It’s the weather you know how it is

Is there so much distance between us that you can’t read me anymore

Or do you not care as much as you used to

I’m going to go home run my hands under cold water

Watch the blue ( I have no gloves) turn to red

I’m going to lie in the bath with the lights off

Tell myself I did everything I could

I fought when it was time to fight and I understood when it was time to understand

I’m going to cry and hope when you can’t see me

I’m going to let go only when I’m ready

I’m not ready to give up on you yet ( even though I know that everything is changing I see it I see you)
