again, i look for you
   amongst the faces

staring at shoes
   whips of hair
     sounds of laughter
but you still don't appear

where are you?

why won't you come to me?

what bait should i use to attract you?

i've tried being me
i've tried being someone else
   but nothing works

my expectations have reached their limit
i won't lower
and i can't go higher

i am teetering on the edge

one fall forward
and i will land alone
into the sea of lonesomeness

but if i stay solid
i am still alone.
