MISTAKEN IDENTITY

I am an empath.
So forgive me if I borrow
Your path or rhythm
And soak up your presence of mind.

I will step into your pages
And be lost in your words,
Absorb your image
And replay the chords
Over and again,
‘Til they’re rapt inside my head
And danced upon my tongue
As if you’d set them there instead.

Because I am greedy like that
And could easily grow fat
On all that you are.
Become a tenderly woven scar
Of infatuated being
That only wants you...

Though you choose not to see it.

I am not unreasonable;
Your life within mine
Could be very feasible,
If you would only do
What you’re supposed to, and

Notice me

Loving you from afar
With smouldering fixation;
Impassioned soul on fire.
Licked by flaming combustion,

I would burn for you...

Swim the rivers of Hades
If you’d only ask me to.
It wouldn’t be a problem,
But you must understand

I will hold your heart like no other,
Here – impressed inside my hand.

But, not to worry:
This isn’t a once-in-a-lifetime offer.
I will be right here,

Surveillant and undercover,

Waiting to be
Your universal centre;
An ardent lover
Worthy of obsession.
