Little Known Nothing Poet Free verse

For a Second

Just for a second there
You could of been him
Just for a second
But for the clothes your wearing
Eyes the colour of straw
You could of been him then
When I saw you from over there

Turn your head just slightly
Yes there it is again
That air of masculinity
Your cheekbones are the same
Your hair the same shade of brown
So dark it could be black

Just for a second there I thought I had him back

For a second my tummy dropped
My knees they felt all weak
Hands they had some feeling back
I swear my heart did leap

For a second there
All was right
Again I felt complete
The missing in me filled back up
A smile began to break

I am nothing without him
I rattle around in my skin
Trying to make some sense
Of why his life did end

Just for a second there you could of been him
Just for a second
