Don’t Look Away

How often do you walk on by

Often trying hard to not meet their eye

Maybe thinking erroneously,

Even as your mind blips seriously,

Look the other way

Even maybe forget for another day

So that they are not real to you

Seeking acknowledgment, they are real too.

Don’t Look Away – Traces Prompt #6

There’s never enough time to say

Rarely have I met someone like you.

And keep in mind that I mean it this way,

Not to be confused.

So keep in mind I’m as lost as you.

Last time we talked this out for so long

And yet nothing came from it.

This is getting down to my last nerve!

I know that you can be reasonable!

Of course you’re not going to reason with me.

Now maybe people will see the side of you I’ve lived with all this time.

They’ll never believe you.

Please keep in mind I’ve said this

Enought times;

Now you say, “But I didn’t know!”

Don’t think that I’ve already forgotten!

I know that it can be hard, but

Never will I forget that you turned away.

Getting out of the consequences? I think not.

You didn’t want to open your eyes.

Sorry this is late! These last few weeks have been crazy.
