If Looks Could Deceive
Worlds and Lungs Collapsing

You looked at me
Like it didn’t hurt
Like I wasn’t broken
On the ground
At your feet
❀
You looked at me
Like I was whole
Like I was equal
❀
You didn’t look at me
Like I was poetry
Or raging oceans
Or the night sky
But that was okay
You just looked at me
Like I was enough
And it was the way
I needed to be looked at
❀
The world has collapsed
And your lungs along with it
❀
I look at you like
You are broken on
The ground at my feet
❀
And you look at me
Like it hurts
❀❀❀❀❀
