sunflowers and roses
adorn her desk
a candy heart
handwritten script

what am I
that I cannot find
the security
of another

is it my hair
unkempt and awkward
my smile
something I do not enjoy
my silence
or too much empty noise
or something deeper
that I don't want to see

what magnetism draws?
I will never understand
how I was looked at once
like an origami bird
my wings are lead
and cannot fly
