affectionate

 
my affections ebb and flow
they go deep
I go along through life
with a dull ache

I miss you
it is so contrite pitiless girl
with foolish dreams
it's so human of me

I passed you once on the way to the stars
my eyes glow with recognition
how else can I explain what your presence does to me?

I am pulled under
out to sea where I drown
in your depths I see the woman of your dreams
knowing it's not me

still, I persist in needing you
I wait in your shadow
for you to smile at me
and for a moment shine there
