Soon we two will be between the same walls
Your voice, your scent, the truth in your eyes
Will now forever be a part of me
Despite my adrenalin faintly permeating
The fresh onslaught of oxygen
Pumping at its utmost
I expect to be imperceptible
A ghost
As I move into your space
Your restless eyes
Passing me by
Hesitating for a blink
As a preternatural twinge
Arises from your brain
Warning you an observer
Is in the area
But like all moderns
You ignore that extra sense
Continuing on, walking by
As my looping mind
Consoles me
Reminds me
Skin-deep counts
In a world where plainness is maligned

A lot of poetry/ writing comes from our not so happiest emotions/experiences and what we see happening in the world. I do believe in second chances- we need to fight back for our humanity. 🙂 xx

It’s a rarity to find that person who looks beneath the exterior, but not impossible. Great poem, Clarissa.
