FireWater

 

Sometimes when you aren’t lookin

I stare at you

I take in all your features

The moles, the dimples

the way your cheeks rise when you smile

I take in the texture of your skin

I pay so much attention

You would think I was trying to complete a painting

“What are you looking at?” you say

“Not you.” I say

 

No 1 would guess

The way I’m always punching you in the arm

“Like that hurt” you say

And my eyes become even more emblazoned with anger

 

We sit in class

And you poke my ear with your pencil

I flip you off

And you just smile

“When?” you say

“In your dreams” I say

 

No 1 would guess

Because we clash

We clash like leather on a hot summer day

The way orange juice and toothpaste taste

Most of the time I’m fighting you

Most of your time, I’m trying to get away from you

 

My polar opposite

We fight and make up

Make up and then fight

And then sometimes you’re the reason I can’t sleep at night

 

So maybe you wonder why it is

We are here

Together at this moment

Bounded to you

Like lace

North and South

East and West

Yin and Yang

It’s all a game
