masked
unhinged literally all i could see of your face
your eyes

mostly green
but changeling
like a deep well



you didn't have a lid
your doors weren't locked
so every now and then
i couldn't help it
i would tumble right in

it made looking at you
a dangerous prospect
a silly game of roulette
i was bound to lose

sometimes
our eyes met like
lightening bolts
veered away like pinballs

were you just mirroring me
or
adding your own currents


when i turned my sight to you
the only thing revealed
your eyes
pulled me in like a riptide
tugging at my ankles
threatening to hold me under
so
i built a dam
to keep you out
that you only noticed when
i said goodbye
