Lusting

Lusting for something I want, 
But I can't have.
Admiring something from afar, 
That I can't seem to grasp.

Wanting to keep something, 
That isn't even mine.
Trying to steal someone's love,
I hope this isn't a crime.

Trying to express my feelings
But they run and hide.

On the tip of tongue, in the back of my throat
Waiting to be spoken,
Waiting to felt,

Lusting for attention!
