so vibrant and alive
maybe I'm smitten
but maybe I'd never survive
if you looked at me like that
As if
a sick and ridiculous dream
there is nothing
within me that could evoke
such tenderness
from someone like you
how she can't see whats right in front of her
should be a capital offense
though you put on a good show
there is no pretending
as words on a page
as soon as the literate eye is met
deciphers and devoured
deeply felt and wholly understood
nevertheless we persist
fodder for my broken ego
and i'm sure yours too
meanwhile, the slow seep of surrender is my ultimate betrayal
it's always safer to place losing bets
