You occupy too much space in my mind 

Like a luxury condo popping up in the neighborhood of my brain,

pushing out the native delights that have been here all my life 

The audacity of you 

More like the shame of me

To be infatuated 

Of someone who, at most, would give me a second glance of disgust if we crossed paths

Still, for countless days that turn into months 

I’ve been drowning in reveries of our brown eyes locking in symmetry

The mere thought of your face makes my insides melt 

You, someone I just stumbled upon online 

My assumption on your demeanor has my soul sold on the dotted line in different areas of the country, 

But we’re both only on the East Coast 

That’s all we share alike  

You speak about things I couldn’t care less about 

But damn, you sounded so nice 

Am I bored with my life? 

Is my dignity not worth it? 

Why am I so hung up on you? 

I’m spiraling,  

All for someone who doesn’t even know I exist
