When I first heard you
I fell in love with
your laugh

When I first saw you
I fell in love with
your smile

When I first smelled you
I fell in love with
your scent 

When I first touched you

my stanzas
my precious stanzas

how miserable I felt two poems ago
writing in single lines

I felt frustrated
what is going wrong?

I felt confused
what am I writing about?

I felt nothing

in this world we are all finches

we all line up on the branch like soldiers side by side

ready to sing our hearts out for the hummingbird sitting by herself on the branch above

sing, she says to us

WELL HOW COME YOU'RE ALWAYS TOXIC WITH ME?!

OHOHOHOHOHO I’M TOXIC?! HOW ABO- 

-AND LET'S TALK ABOUT THE TIME YOU CHEATED WITH THAT DY-

*releases the deepest sigh you have ever heard*

right on cue 

My eyes lit up in wonder
as I saw the sky ta-day.

It possessed a special shade of deep blue,
with these delicate soft cloudy strokes of white.

They were all over the place!

Some were in pairs of lines

As I paint away with my imagination,
your face comes to mind
holding my left hand
as you kiss my scar beneath my left pinkie  
healing the pain away
as you stare into my eyes
weeping tears of joy
