Distraction

A Poem by Brena
"

a poem I wrote when I couldn't focus

"

I want to sleep, but my eyes are glued to the TV.

My mind tells me I need to stay awake

to know what happens next.

It’s an episode of Bob Ross.

I’ve seen it before, but my mind

forces me awake to know what he’ll paint.

I realize that my mind isn’t actually focused

on the soft-spoken man on the screen.

My mind has wandered miles away.

My mind has wandered to you.

I wonder if you’re awake or if

your heart aches like mine.

My hart is beating our song,

but it can’t hear your part.
I blink as Bob paints a mountain.

I realize a new episode has started,

but I’m still 3500 miles away.

I’m with you, imagining a hug,

a kiss, a touch, a glance,

anything.

I’m imagining you

here

with me.

I blink again as Netflix asks if I’m still watching.

I hit “continue” but only continue

thinking of you.
