Buzzing Addiction

I hover oddly

near you

stare

too long, force a blush

give you

the creeps

I swat away

and circle back, like the fly

disgusting insect

that I am

you run

past

glancing away

giving me a wide berth

in search of

desirable

prey

please

please

just

stand still, let me come

close

let me touch

you

Can I hold you?

Are you sure?

no, no

I don’t want

To trap you

I swear

just

just please

say my name

with that low

drawl, that slow

smile

let me live

a bit longer, pin me down

in front of

your eyes

watch me

I can make

you

I can make you

want me

I can

wait please

wait
