Avoidance

Is that your back?

Avoid

Annoyed

I see the subtle hesitation

But what changed

Am I void

Of what caused this situation

Such silence

Isn't real

Can you tell me what happened here

I see the dust

In the air

Things don't seem to be as they appear

Stealthy stares

Sarcasm strained

Why do your stares feel like they seer

Calming down

Quiet now

Should I let go

Am I not welcome here

Go on

Moving forward

Don't have the time to stay in the past

A new day

A new moment

Hopefully this time positivity will last

Thank you for taking the time to read my work!
