Staring

How I want someone to undress me
purely with their eyes
I want to be admired
and I want to be cherished
I don't want to overflow in his river of love
I hate tsunamis
they tempt with you sea shells and show you things people haven't seen before
your curiosity gets the better of you and you dive in
you go closer
and that's how they get you
they overflow
and you're left drowning not knowing what to do
you don't know how it all happened
how you ended up here
all you wanted was to collect movie tickets and sea shells
now you find broken pieces of glass shining in the sun pretty
Do you really think it is all worth it?
What do you think is your worth?
clench your jaws as much as you can
but no amount of grinding can pull back your tears
try to look up at the ceiling hoping they'd go back in
but they just fall over like sink full of dishes that someone forgot to do with the water running
I don't remember what my body looks like anymore
Rather, I don't care
All I know are the eyes that stare at me when I wake up and walk to the bathroom
they always greet me with the same amount of determination to face the day
And so, I go
I keep going
till its all over and I'm left alone in the bed again
with all of my clothes, pillows, books and pens.



no amount of sleep will replace you.
