The Romantic Clown
I’m desperate and awkward…
to make you feel loved
and to make you love me,
I speak generally because
I want to include everyone,
I feel excluded - inside -
from optimum interaction,
I never say much.
Is it my fault?
I wish you could hear me,
everything I have to say,
I wish you would talk to me,
I’d be glad to listen,
I’ve thrown tantrums to hear your whispers,
to hear you,
I’d be glad.
Please look at me
and say what I want to hear,
say that sentence I’ve heard
in my dreams,
say it to me in full,
don’t stop until every millilitre
is out of the bottle.
I’d be glad to listen,
I’ll save your lips,
without you I’d be silence,
without your spit’s mist
clearing my mind.
Say it to me,
that crouching statement in the reeds,
let it meet my needs.
