On Tough Routes, But I Found You
We both were cliffs apart.
You were laughing free and hard
With people on your list of stars.
I was all by my own-
Rock circle full of spikes,
Picking dead grass on the sides,
Lost its green, not fit for sight.
I couldn't go with the aimless flow.
So tough, yet
Not a dead fish
Hoping to survive the cut.
There you stood
like you knew time and space so well.
Always in front of me-
your lips in a gentle twist
of full pageantry.
I lost myself in your almond eyes
' '
' '
Like plotting graphs without grids,
Like matching strings without nodes;
Like completing puzzles without edges,
Like solving questions without answers.
' '
' '
My mind sways round and round.
High-pitched screams bring back
All awful memories-
A past I couldn't hide well,
Like plain papers stained with mud.
I told no one but you,
Praying my trust is worth its value;
Yet you knew every word I needed.
Can I just make you my drugs?
Make me happy. Create my smile.
