I’m putting my entire soul
Into somebody
Who i feel isn’t even meant for me

Why do i get attached so easily?
With these attachments
My soul breaks away
When it’s time to move on
They still have a piece of me with them

i sit and watch you and wait like a dog
always just two steps behind you and
always just begging you for scraps

as if two seconds of your attention
would be enough to fill my empty, empty stomach
as if two mere seconds would ever be enough

but you can't even give that-
my friends say i'm too nice and you just call out my name
and when i see that familiar self-satisfied smile on your face

i just become a bad liar and i just look the other way
and i go back to pretending like your bare minimum
is enough to fix my bellyache

Listening seance:

rubbing hands, clicking tongues, and --


loud shuffling of shoes.

I am just floating

around and almost ready --


to wake up slowly.

Something is at hand,

so I better find a way --


out of my slumber.

I’m a glutton for attention.
For the mention
Of my name.
Please, just prove
My existence is real.
Say that I matter.

Say that I matter!

I. Don’t. Need. You.

But I do, I really  do.

Be generous, give

a like for a like, force it --


through the bad gateway.

The wind blows, nothing

happens, maybe unless you --


look to see something.

Something different:

a story of a search what --


crime was committed.
