Reflexivity
I hide
Waiting
For affection
Today,
Only glance
Hustling to leave
Abandoned
In reality
Sleek, shiny, smooth
I remain
Stuck
Beyond the frame
Finally,
You return
Brushing past again
Dread begins
As you turn
Away from me
Yet,
There you are
Returning as a prodigal
Forgiven
As always
Answering beckon call
You lean close
The heat of your breath
Steaming vision
We are nearly one
Sharing a delusion
Reversing our views
You move - I move
Synchronized
No practice
Needed
You pull back
Studying me
Studying you
You twist
Searching for an angle
To satisfy
Look. At. Me.
Our eyes
Lock
Longing for answers
A sigh
Of disappointment
Never enough
Love - no
Happiness - no
Beauty - no
Turning away
Disgusted
We part
No knowledge
Running
Away
I retreat
Beyond
Our shared world
Waiting
To play along
Once more
