Nuances (an odd piece found in an old folder)


Nuances

I caught something different in your smile tonight
Some odd, off putting nuance
That made me catch my breath and wonder
If I had made a mistake in thinking that you loved me
For a moment I hung there suspended between doubt
And surety, feeling the strings of my heart being cut
By invisible scissors, with my eyes stinging with unshed tears
And a lump in my throat that prevented syllables of any kind
From escaping from my lips
I didn't know how to feel, where to go, what to do
So I did nothing
And nothing engulfed me.
