Lance Efferson, “Ocean” in Pointilism

Don’t smile at me Don’t lock eyes with me Give me space Don’t accidentally brush hands with me Looking at you makes me remember so fondly Looking at you makes me wonder what we could be Looking at you slows my heart beat Looking at you makes all the water in our sea evaporate

You were supposed to be my warmth Now you’re the cold sea You illuminate with such darkness Your brown eyes aren’t pools of chocolate anymore Your chocolate eyes make mine water

So congrats on your self love I wish I could feel the same I gave it all to you Now I only have myself to blame

How do I transfer that love? How do I take that love from you? How do I put it into myself? Especially since you went and gave it to someone else
