Obvious?

by Quinlan L Gibson

I think I saw you falling...
turn your head away.
Quickly...don't let me see.

I think I saw you get my point...
quiet the fight now.
Don't let me hear it in your voice.

I think I felt your shell go soft...
my sensitive Cancerian man.
Hurry now, hide in the sand.
Toughen up.

Confusing to feel in and out of you
like a breath.

I think I have your heart sometimes...
then I think I never will.
