A Form of Endearment
I see the tall, long, skinny legs and the
floor-length blonde hair.
The turquoise-blue eyes,
Almost crystalizing for my jealousy;
Maybe I do.
I see cuddles and
I see love.
I see endearment and
I see faith in one another.
Or I don’t.
I see ideas of two people coming together as
One.
But I do not feel it.
I see the parent and the child,
But I do not feel it.
I see the acceptance of one person’s skin from another’s,
But I do not feel it.
I see calming words spoken from a friend to a lover,
But I do not feel it.
I see the gratitude behind an accepted peace offering;
I see freshly cut grass;
I see recently painted white walls;
I see new cars, a new house;
I see the adults speaking with a mutual respect to the wild teen;
But I do not feel it.
I feel,
But this I do not.
