a poem

I would like to see
Inside your mind
When you close your eyes
Instead I'm blind

I would like to know
What goes around
When you sigh and smile
 At the same time

I would like to guess
What you saw through the fog
Your breath left on the window-pane
Before you left

I try to guess
I make things up
And when I ask
Your lips tighten

Then I see you
Looking back
Confounded
While I sigh and smile
At the same time

Then I discover
Your finger marks
Smudged over the foggy prints
Of my breath, left on the window-pane

Then when I close my lids
I hear you ask
What I see behind

-Georgiana
