Oblivious
April 5, 2014
Conversation halts with harsh words
The clang of ceramic as you raise your coffee to your pursed lips
With shoulders drooping and body positioned away from me
I follow your gaze as you focus somewhere past my person
And unfocus while you gather your thoughts
I do not sense anger, but weariness
I did not know to be afraid
