mutated
insouciant
I
watch
as
the
edges
of
her
mouth
turn
upwards
and
her
eyes
relax
into
a
warm
smile
.
A
bolt
of
recognition
jumps
across
the
synapses
in
my
head
and
produces
a
light
tingling
sensation. However
the
electricity
misses
the
mark
and
the
friendly
gesture
fades
as
quickly
as
it
came
.
This
person
in
front
of
me
I
love
dearly.
Pieces
of
my
heart
reside
in
hers
and
hers
in
mine
.
These
mutated
hearts
beat
together
.
Her
delicate
hands
on
my
chest
search
for
its
rhythm
to
absorb
the
warmth
the
rest
of
my
body
cannot
provide.
A
fog
hovers
around
my
body
, slowing
time
and
blocking
emotion
.
I
exist
partially
obscured
,
my
presence
undeniable,
my
distance
unmeasurable.
