I am an autistic boy

It will be enough for me

look into your eyes,

so full of unexpected emotions,

for only a few seconds

in order to observe the turmoil

deep within,

discover it’s multiple disorder disguises,

hidden agendas and untold secrets

amidst the dark mirrors of your mind.

 

So very tender is the soft embrace of

your presence even when we share only the couch,

even though we don’t talk.

 

Don’t look me in the eyes

for a length of time

I will explode feeling powerless

without warning

In whatever context, randomly

I’ll destroy everything on my way.

 

Full of tenderness, I am,

yet at the same time desperate

don’t push me over the edge

my beloved,

I might have other ways

of looking at things

of coping

not to frustrate you

make you feel sad.

 

If you trespass the boundaries of my structures,

break into my safety zone,

I’ll  never come back

not in the farthest universe

You’ll see me return.

 

My love isn’t silver

My heart is golden

I am an autistic boy.
