Once My Hero

by Anita Mac

Your eyes are sunken,
and I am concerned.
Take a step back;
this is as far as I go.

Flushing confusion
commandeers my face
each time you apologize
by way of a
"Thank you."”

Pleading eyes.

I see
sunken pleading eyes,
and I am concerned.
What did I do?
What did you do?

Intention and unintention
between tangent lives,
can it even matter?

You are stunning.

I am lost in
sunken pleading stunning eyes,
and I am
concerned.

A nice kick in the ass. Very striking, hook-jab-hook-jab kind of stuff.

Great mix of speed and slowing. The repitition works really well for you here.
