Pierced
the gaze burns through me
I feel the smolder
from across the room
Your stare
thickens the air
as I try to breathe
vapors
of wanting
suffocate

A marker for you
A sort of IOU

Unpaid debt grows
An unmanageable monster
A tumor of sorts
Pockets turned inside-out
Only ever empty
Barren and brazen
You, always hungry for more
Me, starving for your cause

Wanting
Wanton
Watching
Waiting

Too many a thieves in the night

Stealing
Stalking
Skulking
Snatching

I'm paid in full
*Too bad I lost my *** on a scam (or two)
