saying 113

you looked the other way.
even when she spoke to you.
no way, you said.
even when she embraced you.
not buying, you said.
even when she kissed you.
just lips, you said.
even when she loved you.
chemical reaction in the brain, you said.
so she left your eyes,
taking her sunrises and sunsets with her.
did that matter to you?
you never really noticed them anyway.
