Dalliance
You're everywhere
I’m sorry if I stare too long
If I make you uncomfortable
If I glare to your discomfiture
It’s just I’ve seen you
In light and darkness
In dreams and nightmares
In paradise and abyss
And I wonder which you call home
And if you’ve ever seen the man who lay down at your doorstep
He carries with him a water bottle
But it contains not Adam’s ale
Rather his tears
A drop for every sin you commit
Once full he drinks it and starts over
Many a time he has drunk
Your beauty keeps his eyes from drying out
Your uncertainty gives him hope;
A utopia where you stray his way
He jams his ears against your door till it goes numb just to hear the sound of your voice
You feel nothing and he feels everything
And maybe it’s pathetic and commiserable
But this hopeless love has made him a fool who drinks his own tears
So yes, forgive me for staring too long
I just want you to understand that I’ll never be that fool with just my one glance.
