Watching You, Craving You
A Poem
you don’t know how much
i longed for you in scraps of shadow
you don’t know how much
i craved you in the sheets of your mind
you don’t know how long
i waited just for you to look my way
you don’t know how long
i stood by the wayside as you went on
you don’t know how much
i longed to press a kiss to your lips
you don’t know how much
i lingered on you as you fell asleep
you had no idea, and i liked it that way —
but things have to change here and now
you had no idea, and you were better off —
before i pulled you close and ravished you
you were the one i kept close in a locket
as you ran your fingers through my hair
you were the one i kept close to my heart
as if every beat was for you, just you, alone
you ran sparks through my mind each night
till i was gasping for release, gentle release, again
