Poetry — Issue One
A Second
the shy smile has long faded
from my lips
when i see a notification from you,
my eyebrows furrow instead
from my lips
when i see a notification from you,
my eyebrows furrow instead
just like it took a second
for a spark to ignite
between us,
it took a second
for it to extinguish
for a spark to ignite
between us,
it took a second
for it to extinguish
