Nothing
I love her deeper than my lack of affection
Although spoken from my lips, meaningless
Constant mishaps produce my indivisibility
So desperate to be seen yet outside her scope
My heartbeat mistaken for a hummingbird’s wings
Heightened senses yet weakened knees
Like a childhood memory she is engraved in my mind
Her name etched on every passing breath
Another interaction but a lack of substance
Consumed by rejection my fears are assured
Hopeful my glance will catch a glance in reply
Tomorrow she will pass again, and again, I will say nothing.
