Dry ice May 2012

 

Dry Ice.

That's how it feels,

 sitting her across from her,

 her gaze once so full of passion

 as dull as the fish that stare at me

from the display of ice,

already long deceased,

this thing I assumed as rea

l, yet, not real in the way I thought,

this need to feel as if I control

 what happens when I control nothing,

 floating on the surface

of some emotional pool,

looking over at her amazing eyes

and realizing they no longer seek me out,

 glazed over when our gazes accidentally engage.

I thought to be relieved,

having escaped my folly

with so little wear,

 only I'm not,

and do not even know

 what it is I want.
