poem

i saw you walking down the hall
i wondered how you got that tall
did you brush by to touch my skin
all i let go did you take in?

i took a step you stepped away
i gave you room you told me stay
i brought you water, you didn't drink
i thought about what i should think


i got so thrilled i locked the door
you were the monster i looked for
i got a knife, you held my hand
i couldn't look, i turned and ran

you didn't chase me, i fell down
you left me still upon the ground
when i returned you closed your eyes
i can't say i was so surprised

you told me not to speak a word
you kissed away all my concerns
and now i wonder where you've gone
i never learned to sing your song.
