twice in one night
you caught my sight
October 10th, 2022
Twice in one night,
You caught my sight
As I caught yours
.
I saw you from across,
in a group of friends
Focused on me
Distracted from them
.
A leather trench coat
Eyes as blue as my feelings
Outlined in black
Shadowed by the smoke of a cigarette
.
With your hair in spikes
to defend or attack
long fingers as claws,
the approach, not ready yet
.
You stare just right
until my eyes bump into your sight
You flinch, look away
Though I know your attention is still mine
.
Discreetly checking me out
Waiting for me to move
But I don’t
Never could
.
Patient for my distraction
Just so you can stare again
I pretend careless
what might follow is pain
.
Twice in one night,
You caught my sight
As I caught yours
.

Diabolical Dealing
Charlene Lind found herself at the home of her therapist, Dr. Alexandra Vech, who she had been seeing for a week. What was supposed to be a session ended up becoming a desperate plea of help from Charlene as she was suddenly losing consciousness. She was cognizant enough to know that she had only a minute left until she would be out like a light.
