THIS WEEKS POEM WAS SUBMITTED BY ---- Oz: the original overnight celebirty

Call me shortsighted but don't call me blind
You walk with him, hold his hand, laugh at his corny ass jokes
but I see you seeing me
Keeping me perpetually in your peripherals
Despite him, you secretly keep you head on a swivel for me
licking your lips at me
You wonder if I'm doing the same thing and I am
You ask yourself if I'm noticing and I am
I see those moments when you let yourself want me
when you photoshop me next to you
Despite him, you watch me while avoiding eye contact
knowing that the second our eyes lock, it'll be an instant imaginary affair
You and me both imagining "we"
Me and my caramel coated Mrs. Jones simultaneously simulating secret romantic scenarios
Despite him, you place my hypothetical hands on your hips and slow dance with the idea of me to our favorite song
just like how, through poetry, I ponder what it must feel like to let my fingertips draw nonsensical shapes across your skin
Despite him, you share my wish to be flesh made steel
to be a hammer brought to tragic life that could tear down the wall between us
this barricade built upon foundations of restraint and respect
disguised as the white picket fince you keep your atypically safe relatioship in
Despite him, you hold the same "what if" in your back pocket
What if I gave up my fear and asked "What if you leave him?"
"What if you let me love you?"
"What if you let me drink from the infectious fountain of affection affecting my mind?"
What if I could slay these devils of our destinies that keep us apart, fall to my knees and beg that the fates make you mine
plead that they allow you to be the Amazing Grace that saves this wretch from cutting his feet on the pieces of his own shattered heart
I see you there hoping
daydreaming
watching me watch you despite him
or at least that's what I tell myself
