I wish for him to know
The profundity of my affection

I wish he could behold
The exuberance he bestows upon me
With little more than his smile

I desire for him to comprehend
The fervor he has rejuvenated within me

I wish he could feel
The heat of the blaze
He has artfully reignited

I hoped he would heed
The harmonious melodies of my heart
Yet, regrettably,
his senses
Are but tuned
to mere echoes

I beheld the delicate undulations of the water,
As it waltzed upon my likeness,
Sparkling and shimmering,

It writhed and swayed,
Warped and distorted,

Rendering my countenance
Into a ghastly specter

I did not embody

Yearning
I found myself at the precipice
Paralyzed by trepidation
As he descended
Disappearing
Forsaken
He carried away his affection
I remained seated
Gazing into
The empty glass before me

I loved the way
His music
made me feel
I could hardly see his face
In the sparse light
Yet his passion shone through
So brilliantly

I watched him
As he got carried away
With the melody of his soul
I embraced it
As it swept me off my feet
And ****** me into a world of light
And love

Tension
Went
Unspoken
Hidden
Silenced
Suppressed

He doesn't know

He's in love

A word
With little substance
Floats in space
Empty
Creating
An anxious
Calm

Silence

Blank spaces
Empty glasses
Vacancy

My spirit is restless

Return

A bird
With feathers
Deeper than the red
Of blood
Watched me from a distance
As I was playing
in the mud
