I Can Only Look Down Poem by Jalyn Jones

I can't look up because you're always there,
standing near me with your long dark hair.
I can't stand still because you'll catch me,
you'll only seek answers I won't let you see.
I can't even look down when I feel most alone,
because pictures of you are saved in my phone.
But it's when I look down and try to delete,
my memories play like a song on repeat.
So I'd rather look down as a way to escape,
Because if I looked up I would see your face.
