When You Will Smile For Me

My heart is an ocean, salty and cold.
I chafe it with their laughter, their tears.
"Ignite" I commanded desperately.
The spark sizzled and died — so did
the belief in me, and that man there.
Undeterred, I packed, headed out, to where
my gut beckoned or where I could be.
On the ocean I am, the same as theirs,
sad but warm, the waves of consequences
unfolded and buried my head with questions.
You asked me to feel for you — naturally.
but I had to feel first before I could.
"When will you smile for me?"
"When you will smile for me."

about me

vanessa.
boring and inscrutable.
satirical and opinionated.
sardonic but innocuous.
enigmatic and taciturn.
pococurante but caring.
neurotic but with equanimity.
you wouldn't get me at all,
cause I wouldn't let you.
