I see you looking at me
I feel your eyes on my skin like shards of glass
Cut me to the quick
leave me bleeding
like you are

I feel your want
your anger
your need
All mixed up inside
hopeful and seething

Every time you look at me
Think of me
I can feel it on my skin like thousands of tiny needles

Eyes like fire and mortar
Crawl all over
Watching
Waiting for me to fail
to fall
to come to you

No more letters
calls
emails
Just you and your eyes
watching always

Unaccepting of the truth
of reality
In love with a dream
that I only slightly resemble

Your schemes
whisper along the edges of my mind
Like a spider spinning his web
Step into your parlor
stay a while

I see you looking
Feel your longing and resentment
Your eyes scrape across my skin
Desperate and unwanted


If I don't say it...who will?
