Night 1

I can't hold his stares when he's looking into the camera, and I'm on the other side of the world looking back through a different screen.

Even when he's looking through a camera lens, it's like he's in front of me. 

Out of all the millions watching him, he's looking at me.

Maybe I'm just crazy

But

That stare was meant for me to see

And no one else.

I love the way he makes me feel, and he can't feel it himself, and that's what I hate.

The missed signals, the disconnected phone cord hanging off the wall.

It's not like his stare is wild

Or crazed

Or deadly

It only lasts for a few seconds

Each time

But his passion

Is what keeps me alive

And away from the edge

Of the pit of my mind

The one I'm leading myself to

Every night

Awake
