You never wanted us
captured
Not in the eyes of
others, and we even struggled in the eye of the camera
Now I know why…
Our images captured
are a lie, for when I stare at them now I can see the anxiety fisted in your
eyes
The distance between
us is close enough to be of friends… and not lovers
My presence next to
you that of a visiting spirit, only known to your heart
Now I know why
Perhaps you were
afraid of a leak, that somehow the façade you’d so well-orchestrated on your
side would leak
And that it would
lead to my leave… of absence in your life
Imagine this, I did
leave and now I keep staring at these pictures
It is amazing how I no
longer breathe there
I cannot see myself
or us
Only you… dust
