I passed by you (Poem – One Shot Wednesday)

Yesterday

I passed by you

you caught my eye and held it

you made a point to touch

to never let me go

my heart

soared

***

Today

I passed by you

our eyes met

we barely touched

you hurriedly let go

my heart wanted to know

Why?

***

Just Now

I passed by you

Our eyes averted

we barely touched

I could feel you jump

away

***

And so..

my heart sank in despair

did you feel me near you?

once you would have drawn me to you

would never let me

go

Nothing

What have I become???
I’ve wandered in my mind and soul
walked in the light of the moon
trudging now the empty dark side

the edges are angry
not seething with anger
just the placement of anger
ready to pounce at any misplaced word

a howl in the air speaks
“you have failed
it’s too late for hope
give up go away”

I look up
daring not to ask
“what is there?”
a resounding echo “nothing”
