constriction

 

my heart still lives in those moments

when your head drifts to my shoulder

I am whole and real during those

times when words

spill out your mouth

those times when I grow

suspicious

that you might be

smiling a bit more

laughing a bit more

than yesterday -

I can’t breathe and

I know that

I’m seeing it

because it is

what I

desperately

want to

see
