It's In His Eyes

I see his gaze adrift his eyes stray miles away were I to guess it wouldn’t be a far stretch to think he’s wondering what’s next and where this journey’s going I ask what he’s thinking and he makes up some phony line I’m not buying it but I don’t mean to pry the last thing he needs to hear is some dumb platitude I hope to be that good listener so he’ll never hesitate to share his deepest thoughts those thoughts are all he has to make sense of his predicament on his journey that’s his own I mean to be there by his side when he’d like an usher for company on this journey I don't want him feeling stranded I mean to help and not deter just want to be there for him hold his hand should he want comfort and let him stand alone when he needs his space we’re going thru this together but I get that at times the best I can do is take a few steps back AP: 3rd place 2020 Posted on February 17, 2020
