How Can I Voice It?

11/16/13

You remove your glasses tentatively,

careful not to smudge them

and you look into me.

 

Tell you how I feel?

How can I voiceit

when I'm not sure I feel it?

 

Yes, I know we talk late at night.

Is that what confused you?

I thought we were just sharing ideas,

Connecting electrons flowing through the phone.

 

I tell you everything else?You know how this game works.

You've been here before.

Why don't you tell me?

 

You rub the bridge of your nose

and stroke your hard chin.

 

"How can I voice it

when I'm not sure you feel it?"
