I seem to have misplaced my girl
I seem to have misplaced my girl—
or perhaps she’s misplaced me.
Maybe she’s under a snowbank,
or lost in fog,
where even her breath
wouldn’t give her away.
Something’s missing—
is it my hands, or the moon?
Because I can’t feel her,
and I can’t see her.
It seems I’ve misplaced my girl—
or maybe she’s misplaced me.
Tucked in the corner of her heart,
beneath my scattered books,
or maybe I laid under the poem
I’ve yet to finish her in.
Whatever it is,
my heart is anxious,
because it seems I’ve misplaced my girl,
or she’s misplaced me.
