despite my efforts to keep you off my mind
i see you, in images, graven inside me
my walls collapse and i let you feel me
every part of me
wholeheartedly
what would it take for me to be loved
for you to reciprocate these feelings
i have, squeezing my chest and lungs
fighting for oxygen, would you spare me
one glance, one thought,
you love her
you are going to marry her someday
you are on my mind constantly and the thought
that maybe you could love me
is haunting
because when i think about us
i see everything
when all there is is nothing
