your hands roam over
my skin like submarines
searching for specimens
that could be interesting

i peel my eyes back
to look at your face-
panting and sighing,
you look nothing like
i thought this would be

where are the shivers,
the undeniable feeling?

all i feel is confused,
a bit hungry,
but what will you do
when you realize
i've got nothing?

Favorite Quote:
"The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do."
—Apple’s “Think Different” commercial, 1997
“Crazy people are considered mad by the rest of the society only because their intelligence isn't understood.”
― Weihui Zhou

Excellent use of the rhetorical question at the end.
