THE MANTRA

*please see me*
*please see me*
*please see me*

I whisper those words
incessantly and fanatically
as my obsession for you
grows and becomes
larger than my reality

*please see me*
*please see me*
*please see me*

even as I acknowledge
that you are unaware of me
and my growing fascination
with everything that is you

*please see me*
*please see me*
*please see me*

perhaps I should be proactive
walk up to you and just say
how very much I am drawn
to you and that beautiful mind
even as you wonder how I know

*please see me*
*please see me*
*please see me*

never noticing me in the shadows
watching you as you speak your words
into my growing reality of you
words that wrap around my mind
and slide into my subconscious
leaving me breathless and even more
*sigh*

*want me*
*need me*
*claim me*

the new mantra for this growing need
and still ... I am invisible to you
stalking is a crime ... right?
but wait ... what if you don't see me
what if I continue to surreptitiously watch you
from the shadows of a reality
one that I am improving upon daily

*please see me*
*please want me*
*please need me*
*please claim me*

yeah ... that's it ... finally perfect
got it all in one ... the true mantra
that I will speak with reverence
and dedication
until that day it penetrates your reality
and brings you over to mine
the only one that will matter in the end
