Waiting
for you
like a still painting,
I go places but my mind sits
fearful of upsetting the picture,
by so much as a thought, fleeting.
And I am that dedicated,
even when you are in your kitchen
shoving condiments around in the fridge,
staring blank.

I am holding images of your face
with emotion so unconditional and express,
I may be multi-tasking, engaged in conversation
or returning a smile with traces of ardor
but, I have no such thing for any of them.
My heart is fully invested
in the pursuit of yours

Pining
for you
like a chump,
nothing makes sense
and life seems
a little off,
in this mind set
where I’m not wanting the air in my lungs
like a necessity
but needing to be wherever you are
like an inanimate object or undergarment,
at least until it becomes as stifling
as your absence.

I’ve vanquished my self-respect
and tipped my moral barometer
reaching
for you
with a dislocated shoulder
and five fingers spread like a better chance.
I am this desperate
when you are flipping channels
or ironing her pants....without so much
as a thought, fleeting... for me.

"Love humiliates you, hatred cradles you"~White Oleander
