Title: You Author: Bec_son99
11/23 You, The one with the cold shoulder. You, Who close your eyes and sleep ‘till winter’s over. You Who stare at the sun waiting for winter to return ‘Cause you slept it away. You Who stare at the sun hoping you’ll melt away Like the ice cream down your hand Onto the concrete Where it lands Evaporating into nothing significant. You With your matted scarf and big shoes You With your guarded smile and your hands Not knowing what to do; They stretch, They dance And move. They flutter apart And clasp together Resting at your mouth. “I don't know,” you always seem to mutter, But I know there’s A million other phrases behind it- You’re just unable to find the words to express them. You With your arms crossed loosely, Toes clenched tightly, The cold keeping you stiff. Nerves, involuntary jolts, shakes and kicks Trying to fight it. You Who I find lying in the snow Letting your body go numb and cold. I wonder if you’re okay. Then there’s me, Putting my hand on your shoulder Trying to bring you warmth, Trying to get you to open your eyes. Suddenly, The sun is in the sky Peeking through the clouds. You awake slowly, Without moving, you look all around, Smiling softly. You see my head hovering above your face You squint And give a childlike wave. The mood is neutral. I’m not sure what to think. I can only hope this time You're waving hello I couldn't take another goodbye… Comments on "You"
