Drowning In Unrequited Mania

heels Clap against alumni bricks
keeping time with the sway 
of your imperial hips.
perfectly disheveled hair
frames spying pools of color.
two crimson leeches 
utter cold words dressed
in warm clothing.

my fingers ache at 
the hint of skin
and my body Submerges
in lonely Passion
as your Applause
echo behind me.
