Why do I strive to impress you when I do not know you? What is it about you? What is it about me? My mind is plagued only with thoughts of you - not of you, but your acceptance Hours I waste, gazing upon your past. What is it I see now that I was unable to see in the darkness? What I once mocked and ridiculed I now yearn for feverishly. You are not the first and you will not be the last. Eros why do you visit me unwelcome? Why do you stay? I long for your eyes upon my body Your pathetic praise awakens me, disgusts me; you draw out in me what I do not want to see. The ugly truth.
