19. Attention

I don’t know if you know
But I’m always trying to get your attention
In every way I can
In how I breathe
How I eat
How I sound
In all I do
So I don’t think you get it
Not even for a moment
Its more then just a
Play of words
A string of emotion
A fall out
Or breakdown

Its more then
A lie
A sad inconvenience
A slight definition

It’s a plea
A desperate plea
A hopeless plea
Please talk to me

A desire to have your attention
On me and only me
I get so jealous
Of anything or anyone
Who has it other than me
Tell me
Is it me you wish to hear from

I shouldn’t feel jealous
I should learn to get pass this
Like I learned to be gentle
But it feels like talking to a brick wall

I should learn to breathe
Knowing all I know
Knowing that you’ll never get it
Knowing that I’m not right for you
Knowing that no matter how bad I want this
It will never work like I wish it would
Fear is all the conversing I need
To get to you.
