Darkened Lenses
I sense rage
You speak chastisement
Then you pause
To caution and warn
An afterthought
Take care of yourself
What thoughts transpired?
In those moments
What wrought the change?
I was speechless beneath your gaze
My eyes large in my face
Surprise registered there
I felt so aware of you
Your name
How I wish I knew it
