thoughts over coffee in the afternoon

thoughts over coffee in the afternoon

A Poem by highonwords



who were you thinking
when you think of anyone
who could love you,
the way you love someone,
who doesn't love you,
you don't think of love,
anymore the way you used to,
since you found love remains
parallel with how much life
you could only give away,
the line you intersect
doesn't curve to a circle,
embracing you, you thought
you'd remain a faint line,
across the world's face,
not a gash, but a line,
not leaving a trail away,
you've forgotten your own face

This feels like a person who is deeply disconnected and separated -- wondering about his or her place in the world.

Rambling thoughts leaving me to think you are describing a person who just lost a love or a person who feels insignificant in the mind of the world. Interesting write. Lydi**
