Mortal Touch

I think of you often.
In the morning, late at night,
but those thoughts go unvoiced,
the mortal touch goes unfelt.

It’s easier to keep to myself,
to avert my gaze deliberately.
it’s safer to keep ravenous.
It’s simpler to bamboozle with silence.

bamboozle with silence. I love that saying Annais, often we keep our affection quiet, but sometimes it can be liberating when we say it out loud at the right time, I wanted to tell you I felt your poem today, have a great day, Vie :)
