breaking the connection

your words

your actions

they walk there own path

but your eyes

 

I looked

so close

lash to lash close

and I know

 

I tell self

you are making it up

sugar coating it

but I know what I saw

 

I know you needed

keep me distant

couldn't even sit next to me

does the silence help you?

 

does it allow you to forget?

fill all the space thats now between us

with noise?

distraction?

 

I know what i saw

in moonlit reflective pupils

the smile

home

 

ill take im not too much

ill take mixed up

but I wont take it wasn't real

am open to seeing what I want to see

 

in your eyes

I looked

and I know what I saw

and it was more than a look

 

and I know

what not being able to look means

breaking the connection

no sound to judge

the vocal inflection

 

I guess I don't make it easy

honesty isn't that way

but remember my eyes

and I challenge you

to remain away

 

the love I have

doesn't come often

the last life time

had you forgotten

 

and if not now

then reborn ill search

and make eye contact eventually

we shall

 

if not now

then

round and round we shall go

I wonder if we will ever make it work

or will even learn how

 

friends forever

even if I don't know how
