Far off eyes I know she’s looking right through me
through the walls and the doors
past the porch and on into what don’t exist
I want her to come on back to the laughter and the looks what we shared before she left me for the mountain state that chilled her bones
She turns her gaze on me but it’s not me she sees stands up by the door
with the door untouched by her
she grabs herself by my side and walked away
Her body and soul were not in one place
and the door slams shut again
there’s nothing to say
bare walls and empty halls aren’t hearing my prayer
She followed my path and took off from our base
engine turns over but she gives it no gas
I hold my breath and walked away
