Notice My Love

I seat myself across the room
To hear your voice.
I watch it flow from your lips,
Hypnotizing me to rejoice.

I’m engaged in the essence
Of your language, caressing the air.
I’m drawn to the sweetness
Of a subject so rare.

I can’t prevent the poison,
Seeping and creeping in.
Addicted to the drug
Which you send with a grin.

You don’t know I sit here
Listening so intently.
Notice my love,
Or else let me down gently.
