short poem.
I see you standing there.
standing right across the way,
There is nothing left to do,
I've got nothing left to say.

I long for you to come forward,
but also for you to leave.
Yet you just stand there,
doing exactly what you please.

I hide myself away from you,
as I do everyone else.
Yet you still pry,
like I have no right to preserve myself.

I wonder why you even care,
about me, myself, and I.
Then I see you standing there,
and I know exactly why.
