how is it

I'm able to taste

the disappointment in your eyes

at the back of my tongue

and feel it

in the pit of my stomach

and feel like its laced in the air I breathe


maybe that's why my eyes sting

when you look at me

demanding a reply to "so why are you now upset?"

the physical act of

pushing past the lump of disappointment in my throat

is too painful a task
