We talk
He laughs
i smile
Preemptive aura hits
Déjà vu
His eyes plead
i know it’s coming
So does he
Then he’s gone
Disappears from reality
Trapped somewhere in his mind
No longer mine
A vacant stranger
He stumbles
Falls
i reach
Brace his body against my own
Heavy struggle
i lower him to the ground
Gently
Tenderly
i wait
He reaches, eyes unseeing
He grunts, voice unknowing
He drools, mouth unbreathing
i watch
Then he intakes
Swallows
Mumbles
Hums
Partially back
Partially complex
Partially mine
