---

You ask me (something?)

A simple

question.

I know,

I heard

You.

You look at

Me.

(Looking

At my

Dull

Stormy

Eyes)

I look at

You and

(Your piercing

Beautiful

Mysterious

Knowing

Staring eyes)

—What was

The question?

I seem to have

(Forgotten)

Lost

My train

Of thought.

(Forgot something)

Aquamarine

So blue

(And green)

Are the eyes—

Your eyes—

Her eyes.

I laugh because

(This is funny

Oh wow it’s so funny!)

I’m so awkward I’m

(Hilarious)

Embarrassing

Myself.

(Make it stop).
