Uncomfortable Feeling

Inappropriate thoughts,

You pop in and out to say... hello

Is it hello? Or “hello”?

I try to stay mellow, but

Your hello sounds encrypted

Almost scripted—maybe mystic.

Maybe it’s all innocent,

I overthink... thoughts that shouldn’t

Be lingering; vigilant.

I can’t be making this up,

Why would I?

Fill the cup, with trapped energy.

It’s as if you have x-ray vision,

To envision, what you shouldn’t.

Go somewhere, anywhere, but here.

I don’t want to think about,

What you might be thinking,

Speaking, dreaming, seeking.

Don’t make me feel this feeling.

My body tense every time, why?

It’s your words, your eyes, they are disguised.

Do others feel it or just me?

I can’t breathe, I must leave.
