Caught In The Corner


Coming upon me,
   a fresh breeze
   as you walk by.
It’s like you’re
   a star caught in
   the corner of my eye.

I don’t even know you,
   but do eyes hint
   that there’s something more?
I shouldn’t drag you into this,
   but it’s so hard not to
   when you’re breaking me at my core.

I hope your gaze
   stays on me a little too long
   she next time I pass by.
And it’s only because you’re the star
   that’s been caught in
   the corner of my eye.
