Center it. Be particular about it. Your awareness
of me
Instead of post, post, like, post, phone, post, walk, like, like, me, love, smiley face, love, post
Be a participant in my energy
So when I tell you, I’m emotionally empty you don’t respond
“Ok cool”
because you missed it with your comments, IG photos, group chats and “ohwellIfellasleepaftertalkingtothesenineotherpeoplebecauseIknowyoudontreallyneedmeanyway” (yes,you are necessary for me)
Because those others never showed up
for you
Tell me, what would it get you to take notice?
me.
here, existing doing nothing but creating alchemy with my breath
Because nothing has worked – not my undivided, not my bracing your emotions, not my shimmys across your mind with my hips moving in a figure eight swirling around your head
asking for your concentration, instead of your devotion
But a little uninterrupted effort
Might be nice
