fix my gaze

fix your gaze

I cannot imagine you properly.

I cannot see you without looking away. 

I cannot feel you without reaching for you. 

I cannot seem to properly fix my gaze. 

I pledge no allegiance, yet I cannot shake this experience. 

your existence made my simple life a maze.

I often ignore, the shift you implore. 

but I see it in every direction I take.

your proclamations so rare 

can't help but care

yet I cannot seem to properly fix my gaze

my temptations swallow me whole. 

yet in a rare breath of fresh air 

I remember your breathing. 

steady yet feeling 

like my life can be much more 

than this pathetic loveless war
