I Don't Know

I Don’t Know

By

Nathan Caleb Camerer

I see a smile

It sits on the boom half of a beautiful face

Distracting from deep brown eyes

What’s your name?

Cat has my tongue

Surrounded by familiar faces

A door is opened

I trip over my own feet

Feeling ashamed

Overthrown by your beauty

Grasping at strings

Trying to find a way to get your attention

Failing miserably

Time is running out

Opportunity knocks

Slipping from my grasp

I can’t hold your attention

I slink away

Beaten by my own mind

Hoping for a second chance

Another random encounter

It’ll probably never happen

I hope it does

Maybe

Will you see me?

Can you say my name?

Only time will tell
