Here

I’m here.

It seems to stay.

A lot on my mind. No words to say.

Those years and years,

long behind me.

Somehow still,

your eyes confine me.

A little about the poem

I can only guess? I found this poem among many poems that had been thrown into a box during the summer and fall of 2008. I do not remember who the poem references. My first assumption is that it refers to a former crush but it could also refer to a hard friendship. At times I have even wondered if it referenced a book or film I found especially powerful. No matter the prompting, the mysterious nature of the poem makes me love it all the more, these years later.
