Open your eyes and see me

I carry a burden deep within
I am encumbered for my want
of acknowledgment from you

I am deprived I starve I thirst
for your attentions your desire
that food and water will not sustain

your eyes do not see me or
know of my existence
yet I continue fighting to be seen

I am covered in your eyes
swaddled invisibile
my obsession surpasses

the air that I need to breathe
this wanton addiction
to be with you to be held

I’ll burn for you
