You've been around
Enough to observe
The purpose behind
My every move.
Deeply you analyse
A frown or a wince
The length of my gaze
At the sight of a face
You've seen me pause
At meaningful words
But you can't tell the cause
Of a sigh or a curse.
You know the alleys I lurk
the ones I pass with a smirk
those I stare at longingly,
some that prick my envy.
You know me so well,
But don't give me away
The truth please don't tell
Let it die and decay...
