idle self-absorbed thoughts dripping out in poem
------------------------------------------------
c. -
i know my thoughts turn to you in excess,
and that causes you to recede,
but i hunger for your presence,
and i long
for this hunger to feed.
i saw you unexpectedly,
and i was caught rapt,
but i saw in your eyes naught
but
distraction and
bored with me.
i saw your eyes light up,
when talking to my friend.
i felt myself disappear,
your attention drawn away.
disoriented, i left,
time ticking me on my way.
so now i'll swallow the fearfulness
and hope to catch your fancy
upon another day.
