expressionless

what happens to you
inside                                                  
                                                 when my fingers brush your arm?
are you short of breath?
do you feel dizzy?
or do you not even realize I touched you?

when I walk away from
you
                                                 what are you thinking?

are you afraid I won’t come back?
do you want me to stay by your side forever?
or do you even care?

when I tell you how much you mean
to me          
                                                 do you hear?

are you hanging on to my every word?
do you believe everything I’m saying?
or do you just pretend to listen?

I need to know
so tell me
because looking at
your face
                                                 absolutely, completely
expressionless

it seems like you feel
         
                                                                   nothing
nothing at all.
