Let’s Focus

 

Let’s focus

What do you call an in-between?

A space where hands reach but never hold,

Where hearts beat loud but never speak.

A place that can’t claim,

Can’t own,

Can’t feel jealous,

Can’t rely.

Let’s focus

What do you call this?

Where we push and pull,

Only to pull away.

Where our intentions hide deeper

Than the feelings we pretend to bury.

What do you call this

Where we drink to drown doubt,

Only to drown in each other.

Where blurred lines feel clearer

Under neon lights and heavy breath.

Let’s focus

What do you feel

When I slip away into other arms,

While you laugh in the presence of another?

Be honest

When you give yourself away,

Do you wonder if I flinch?

If my heart tightens,

If my mind whispers your name in jealousy’s voice?

Let’s focus

What do we call a passion with no direction?

A fire that burns but doesn’t warm?

What do you feel for me?

Do you even know?

Can we even focus,

If we have no focus point?
