“Something Subtle”

By: Khatoon Hazara

 

 

 

 

Something subtle this way comes

Something subtle

And yet

What you said

Makes me want to run

 

 

Something subtle

I swore never to let under my skin

Something I never openly verbalized to you

Love, the words you used, made me open

 

 

Subtlety

I ask of you so subtly

To please set me free of this soliloquy

That I often am in

Constantly

 

 

And subtlety

I ask of you so patiently

Time & time & time & again

Subtlety

Oh, and I do so, so patiently

Let your hair down, oh subtlety

 

 

 

Be as you were on sunny days

Cloudy days

Rainy days
