snapshots

this is me, drowning.
this is my life, not flashing before my eyes.

this is me, breaking and breaking.
this is me, picking up the phone.

this is me, asking and asking.
this is you, waltzing in
like a swan.

this is me, hesitant.
this is me, ripping out the film from the camera.
this is me, pressing the cancel button.

this is me, thinking if things were different.
this is me, thinking if things were the same.

this is me, waiting and waiting.
this is me, staring at your handwriting.

this is me, stripped and bare.

this is you, looking away.
