eye contact is so very intense
too much is an embarrassment
so I only do it in short snatches
this letting you inside my tent
and penetrating yours
implies a promise of more
and a promise should be kept
or what’s the connection for
I can’t make a promise to you
though perhaps I don’t see it true
does it mean much more to me than you
am I like little boy blue
you see my soul is just a hole
and it could yearn for you
so I will not look into your eyes
that’s something I don’t dare do
