A Blue Rhapsody

by Nicole Assenza

[[ rhapsody in blue]]

As I bathed in blue light I was alone. Alone...with you. You were there, suddenly, in front of me. Beside me, around me. But, mostly, you were in my head. In my heart.

I held your hand.

I closed my eyes.

My fingers popped. It was cold. The TV was bright. I laughed. You laughed.

Now that I am on a silver platter for you, will you take me (as I am)? Would you....whoever you really are, take what's yours? Do you think I would...close my eyes? I do.

(The shortest sentence is I am. The longest is I do.)

Am I there, every night, on that hotel bed? The covers were blue...or green. It doesn't really matter. And if I am...do you really want it? Do you visit me often? Mostly in your head.

Or am I ghost in your house...that I have never been to? Are our universes parallel? Do we intersect (intersect, intersect)?

You are here or...you are never here. And love is so strong that we only see in dreams. And mostly you are in my head.

As I bathe in blue light, I am alone.

Author's Note: Something strange I wrote a very long time ago when I started to think about all my boys. I can never decide who I love. Doesn't help that even today I'm still in love with my very first love. I just question if he even thinks about me at all anymore.
