Distractions

Another piece from my poetry portfolio

Distractions

He’s always there.
They’re not even doing anything,
yet it’s better than the homework she should be doing.
I mean really, she could be studying, sleeping, eating, running,
or a number of other things,
 but when he’s around,
none of that seems important.
 There’s always something better to do with him there.
Why be productive when nothing sounds more appealing
than spending an entire day in your pajamas and watching Netflix.
Maybe take an afternoon siesta, just to feel his arms around her.
There doesn’t have to be a schedule,
and that’s what draws her to him.
He’s so easygoing and carefree.
Ambitions to become some big shot lawyer,
yet he gets away with just sitting there,
brushing that bronze hair back in that chilled way she loves.
He can make her melt just by existing.
There he goes again, biting his lip as he ponders some important philosophical question,
he’s got to be doing that on purpose, right?
Honestly, he’s too perfect for words.
Just as she’s reaching out to brush his hair away from his beautiful hazel eyes,
he dissolves before her eyes and she wakes up.

Bummer.
