Bright light brimming,
In the deep black places,
What are you doing?
You're supposed to ignore
The fool in the back,
Quiet and unsure. Not
Worth it. Not to be considered
For the time to take your
Eyes in full, with sharp gazes that
Kind of hurt my chest
And cause a slight shortness
Of breath.
You worry me...
For how you'll affect my life.
For how I'll affect yours.
Of course, I could be off.
Probably nothing anyhow.
One-sided flutter of hopeful wings.
