Orbit Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Orbit



You...
Come to stay on my mind,
All the time.
Well...
Not 'all' the time.
As if you find me easy to orbit.
Observing from a distance.
And my mind is convenient,
To revisit emotions.
Emotions...
For you I admitted I once had.

And here I am...
Fixed while you pick,
When to do it.

But you don't know how I wish,
That day to come...
When you stop,
Whatever it is you do done.
With a doing to have others remind me,
How you once had me blinded to believe...
Without you,
I would not be able to eat, sleep or breathe.

But that was a lie.

I am able to eat and breathe.

Sleeping?
I will never admit,
Those nights I lay awake wishing...
You were probing me much closer.
Tonight?
You will not find me in bed.
I've decided to sleep in a chair.
You know the one.
Near the window.
