Opening Again with Attention
The moon is the love of my life and, honestly, I should be giving her much more attention.
I need attention
Like skulls that need
Cleaning.
Waiting for love as
I can’t stop jumping
From walls
Needing to feed
For attention from
The hugs I take,
The sex I feed.
Opening the book,
Opening a chapter,
Just for a little touch
Of attention.
I’m cutting myself open
As I use my red ribbons
To tie myself up.
Running in circles
For attention and heights
I could never reach.
Feeding on death
Like the attention
I taste on my cat
Like tongue.
If you’d love me,
You would’ve gave
Me attention
"Those who have compared our life to a dream were right… We are sleeping awake, and waking asleep" — Michel de Montaigne, 'Essais'
Sometimes... as humans, we crave attention but even that can be considered a disorder. But, as kids, we do not always get the love we should have been given. When you get older attention is harder to get but the question is... Who should we blame?
A Little Advice
Don't fall in love just because someone pays a little bit of attention to you.
