Attention

The yearn for attention

Your attention


Constant bickery

Acutely querulous

And eminently irritating


Yet, discreetly considerate

Discreetly attentive

As if it were a weakness

A weakness under that querulous mask


Eyes that scrunch up as you banter

The slight undertones of contentment in your sonically pleasing voice

Handwriting, continually satisfying eyes that lay upon it


A smirk so exasperating yet

Sympathetic and sincere


How would one not ache for your attention?
