Steps

It's been over a month since I have posted. A failure for sure. School reconvened, but no excuses. Here is something I jotted down a few weeks ago. I think I may break it up into two separate poems. 

Let's take a step back to the place

I lost my footing and fell into this pot

hole called something like love. We 

walked together, in sync until you saw

me slipping into a feeling you never felt.

Let's take a step back so I can avoid

a mistaken step. Guide me out of  these

feelings by showing me your own, what

ever they may be. 

You are like a book I don't quite

understand and yet must keep reading.

Your words fertilize a friendship that

grows too wildly. You create a scenery

in my life that looks something like

                                            infatuation.
