Literature Text

We stand together
In the middle of the field
Avoiding each other’s eyes
The air is filled with birdsong and awkwardness

Pause.

We both speak at once
And then stop talking quickly
More of that tongue-tied silence
Neither quite readly to break it, or break us

Breathe.

We’re oh-so lost, but
I don’t know how to tell you
Besides, I think you already know. Don’t you?

Listen.

And there’s no-one here
To ask for directions from
And there are no maps to where we want to go

Lost...
I know-- is that shock on your face? I've actually written a poem with structure for once! :D

And as I hope you've guessed- although you may not have, my writing's not that good ^^;- this is not a poem about literally getting lost... :3
