unquenched desire
somehow fuels me until
the next second I get to experience the intimacy
of locking eyes with you!
however, it derails me -
generates a whiplash within me
I cannot shake off.
it's undeniable; completely engulfing me
in the murky territory you are.
never quite sure if I truly have feelings or if
you're some kind of trophy I fancy for
my collection.
my heart beats for you
though not for love, lust is more like it
and it flows into my bloodstream
constantly
as winning your attention
(or at least attempting to)
is tiresome yet exhilarating
one look leaves me on cloud 9
so the cold shoulder you're inflicting upon me
is draining me of the little life I hold
for my mania is not vanishing any time soon.
