Jae's Scribbles

You.

After Saeed Jones' "Guilt"

One month has passed but my heart

is still back to the times with you.

Speeding trying to find what I did wrong,

what I could not see and what has become.

I was in my room alone with the windows open.

A cool breeze entered, making me shiver.

I close my eyes & release a breath

I didn't know I was keeping in.

My mind begins to wander until

it is interrupted by my phone ringing.

I check the message. Before I read,

before my brain is fully awake,

I become intimidated by the size.

Alarmed, I start reading & I get

smacked with your feelings.

You type again & I type too

as fear of losing you enters

my body. The reply from you

seems to take hours as I stare

at the piercingly bright screen.

No warning signs. The road of our

friendship is now at a dead end.

I feel the wind once again touch

my shaking skin. But this time

a weep comes out instead of a needed

breath.
