Mentor

Look,
I’d have to have a moment to
Get my bearings and
Bear down on it and
Bear with me, please
A thought is a comet when the thought
Is a thought about you 
And I cannot stop it 
It flies through my room when I’m
Gripping my bedsheet and I’m
Breathing uneven 
Thinking of you knowing 
Thinking of you thinking 
I cannot have it 
Have you watching from the 
Corner of your eye as I
Sit just by the side and 
Look,
Your arms stretch 
And your legs 
Stretch and your voice
Stretches when it carries my name
It warps into a shape 
Time stops for me and I 
Keep sitting there 
I am just there 
You’re two steps away and I’m
Begging for you to 
Look,
Look at me while I’m on my knees
Pleading to a God I do not
Know the name of or
Know the prayer to 
I just pray for the way
Your fingers move and your eyes
Roam across the room but then
They’re in laser focus
I need your focus 
I need to bring my best to you 
So I can hold it 
You watch me like I could hold it
You judge me like 
You want me to 
And it won’t sting if
It’s too harsh and 
Bruises my ego 
And it won’t sting if it means
That you will 
Look,
