I tell him I want more
not too much
just enough to make me feel something
like this crazy world we’re living in is worth the effort
you know –
and he nods like he understands
but I don’t think he does
cuz his hand shakes when he pours
just pours -
mouth closed with a tight knit smile that says
this will make you feel something even if I don’t.

Love the poem Lisa. Quite cryptic - easy to identify with this poet in a world of relationships that don’t quite connect together, as we stumble along trying to anticipate each other’s emotions. Judy
