SO IT IS TODAY

​

waking slow in a mist
eyes crack open 
and the mist begins to fade
 

so it is today 
tears flowing like gentle rain
and something is washed away

​

I look up for a moment
from the shadows 
and you appear
looking at me

​

your eyes are soft 
and focused
melting this old wall 
that contains my heart

​

I am stripped somehow naked

my breath is shallow 
and yet 

I am still here
seeing you seeing me
