recognition
a wave, a smile
a hello "how are you"
someone to stop for a while
not heads bent down to buzzing feet
seeing flying hair
not rosy cheeks

I only want a little
company
someone to talk to
a friend to spend a sunny afternoon
looking at the chipmunk's prance
hear the robin sing and butterfly dance
but greeted with a wall of silence
walking on slim ice
no alliance

I only want a little
snuggle
not more than a cuddle
but hands on me were a shove
and drops of blood
cut with razor tongues
I don't understand
this thing called love
