For Anna

(1st Draft, please provide any criticism. Thanks)

​

I run my fingers through your thick

and thoroughly-wild silky strands.

You smile a smile I have seen before,

never any different— yet never the same.

Your sparkling emeralds shine a light

that illuminate my wildest dreams.

​

Whenever my eyes flutter open on

an early morning; you are not there.

It is then I remember that you’re gone.

Only in my dreams can I see you—

and feel you. It is only there that I can

see you waiting for me among misty waters.

​

I wonder what you are thinking about.

The way he holds you tightly at night,

or perhaps the way he loves you tenderly?

I can only hope he makes you happier,

as much as it pains me to say.

It’s better off this way.
