Love Poem

Back

April 2023

Right past
Right past me like a flame
I can't pick my head up
I'm glued to pretending to be a poet
And my knee is bouncing
I've never been so nervous
My stomach is churning
I'm smiling too-
cause I've never felt so unhinged by a single person
One moment and I'm
absolutely shaken
It's like the sky suddenly
opened up and
the heavens
revealed themselves with
angel's singing and all that
just when I see her
and then back to normal
just like that when
I look away

I couldn't possibly look up
I should keep pretending to be absorbed in this thought.
