I feel the need to hurt you
All plots are futile
Although never executed.
I somehow know you might not feel.
A simple stab could
Produce a simple scratch.
I fear your attention and yet crave it.
When I rest my hand on you,
I feel less than
When I am restless over being around you.
The touch of you, that you give me
Is not you;
You leave your body as I pass my arm against yours.
I can never truly touch you
Sometimes you give me hope in your grin,
But then you correct my perception of
whether your grin was ever actually a grin.
Flawed, I call out to you to help me;
“Save me”
And you do;
For a while.
I think it was only as an act of kindness,
And act easily expressed for any stranger.
There never is a flinch on your behalf
for what you make me feel.
And I see you with her,
But I doubt whether you
See enough
To escape her.
And I fear again,
I cannot read you;
And it scares me;
Frustrates me.
I send you smoke signals,
From the cigar of
my current affair;
unfortunately second hand smoke
cannot kill me.
So I need you to do me
A favor
The kind you’d do for another stranger
Stab me
With the knife I scratched
You with.
you're welcome Chloe
