Put Me Off

Put Me Off

Tears distort perceptions

Misting over views.

Tears corrupt reflections

That are looking back at me.

Sighs are merely breathing

In order to get attention

For pain that has been held

Purposefully.

These signifiers mystify

And prolong what often is a simple matter

SHUT UP! SHUT UP! THINK!

Then please speak your mind.

You’re putting me off my pint.

And that is very unkind.
