What will it take to wake you?

Shake you

Break me

Can’t breathe

Longing

Never ending

I stare at you across the room

Though our eyes never meet,

I wish they would.

I urge you on,

Waiting most patiently

I am a slave to acknowledgment

The only thing to satisfy my appetite.

Though I am never rewarded,

Like a dog

I come crawling back for more

Because you can’t bite the hand that feeds you

..I can’t turn away.

The first bite I took from your hand

Was in fact just a seed

You disguised it

Planted it

This love has grown so strong I think I just might burst

Like a small boy outgrowing his winter coat

Though this pain is so much more than what the cold wind would bring

All I truly want is for you to wrap your arms around me

and tell me you love me again.

But you don’t,

and maybe you never did.
