When You're Not Fully There

I don’t know 

What's wrong.

Or if it’s even bad

 

Something’s missing

In your actions

In your voice.

Coordinated gestures have fallen

Flat on your languished chin

dribbling

I don’t know what to do

When you’re not fully there

 

I feel your emotions

The curl of your lip

genuine as your love 

For me.

But your filter fallen out

Thoughts hang up in the air

Film and foam like spider rope

 

You always seem so scattered

When you're not fully there

 

Something is off

That much is clear

Nothing seems wrong

How much more I can bear

How much more for you?

​

In one ear 

spilt out your mouth

No matter how much you care

Concern dribbles down my chin

When you’re here

Not with me
