“Halves”

by Kristine Scholz of A Shelter From The Storm

You show me halves.

Half smiles.

Hints of what lies

half-buried

beneath the surface.

Half truths.

Half lies.

You torment me with

half an answer

and half hours

that

stretch

into eternities.

You hold back half your self.

You don’t share.

You don’t reveal.

You leave me in

half

shadow.

You are as elusive

as the dark side

of the moon.

There,

but not visible.

There,

but unknown.

There,

and half a world

away.
