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
