A glance, even a reluctant one
Cast my way,
How long has that been?
Seconds slide inexorably along
Like hours and days.
Many look at me and
Their eyes pierce holes in me,
Burning and scalding.
Can’t they ignore me?
Let me wallow in loneliness,
Forgotten by time too.
Let me freeze and wait
For your warm glances
To melt me and bring me
Back to life and time.
