She closed her eyes and began to speak

You haven’t been sleeping well

You also haven’t been eating well

Those late night stares and

Those late night splurges

You haven’t been connecting well

You also haven’t been focused all too well

Those unread texts and

Those blank stares into nothingness

You haven’t been doing work

You also haven’t writing

Those piles of papers and books untouched and

Those pens and pencils becoming unused

You haven’t been you

I’ve been noticing

Those things you used to love

I see you not touch or do

She opens her eyes,

Only to face the reality of mirrored feelings
