And I saw him.

Repeatedly.

Repeatededly.

And I wanted to say something.

Anything.

…Could not.

Could not

Budge my lips.

Tears.

Well up.

Utterly

utterly immobilized.

What the hell are you waiting for?

But I’m being pushed.

Invisible waves

Crashing against me.

Pushing me further and further from you.

And you’re still here.

Staring past me.

As I struggle.

Fruitlessly against this

Barrier Oh don’t

don’t.

Don’t walk away.

At least stay here.

So I can stare at you

And imagine myself speak all those

words that would not

form on my tongue.
