Ghazal for Broken Records
for k.l.m

night creaks into day, bright sun burns my eyes
your morning text message first sight on my eyes

I tease you with texts about wasting your time
yet he wakes up everyday lucky looking into your eyes

you say he don’t deserve you, don’t ever treat you right
you still hop over to his house excitement in your bright eyes

don’t understand why he treat you the way he do
he drains you daily wringing tears from your eyes

so many others men out there who want you
but you act like only he’s visible to your eyes

I wonder if he’ll ever see what I see
when I stare back into your cinnamon eyes
