Other Peoples Thoughts.

Neighbor - Mother Mother.

I saw the way your eyes lit up when you spoke of him. I witnessed the way your hands shook when you took his cigarette. I could feel your untold emotions flying away, searching for a vessel that wouldn't deny them the simple joy of honesty. I saw the hurt in your stance as you watched him walk away, and i could feel your heart screaming its confessions to anyone that would listen. I'm aware of the veil that separates what you want from reality, i was there when you built walls around your heart. And i am here today, when someone slipped through the cracks you weren't aware were forming on your defenses. It's our little secret, which you may never know. I am your neighbor, I know you better then you know yourself.

I long for the day when I'll admit i had my own misconceptions about you and I..

Author's Note

This is as much a story as it is a poem. I kind of got inspired and created this character, (well, both of them) and wrote as though it was coming from their point of view.
