You explained to me what a tangent is.

In fact, you tried to teach  me all the math along with all the things that never made sense. 

I still didn’t get it.

All I ever got was you.

You were logic to me.

So simply proportioned,

like no math figure could ever be.

But tonight,

I’m staring at your sleeping face 

 with all the scary shadows around

trying to scare me

and my only fear is,

that you’re just a tangent.
