vertigo

I see your brown eyes and
my head spins
are you smiling?
or filled with disdain?

do you smile at my messages?
or brush them away?
am I just a
distraction?

I know there's more to life
than you
I will accomplish more
than
fumbling turns of phrase
stuttering
pulled by your orbit

I love you in an all consuming
solar eclipse
of pain

they say to move on
but my roots have grown deep
into poisoned earth
trapped
waiting for closure
