he somewhat cares
he has to care
otherwise the pain will become too much to bear
this heart of mine is dazed with hope
as his stare reflects what i've wanted for months
but what's getting him to do this
is me being a mess
i shake due to distress
look uncomfortable due to unrest
i am nothing he needs
but he is everything i am looking for
hungry eyes wanting more
are you okay?
i can't say a word
forced to nod instead
i am a deadweight waiting
for a chance to dance with danger
close but far, he monitors my movements
my earbuds causing a farther distance
my music causing me to mimic another tick
guitar riffs play through my mind
but i can't even play guitar
and there you are rock climbing, taking pictures of our worlds
i'm not worth a picture
or a glance
i would like if you could maybe give me a chance
