Don't Make Me Beg

by Genevieve Sturrock

how could you not notice
it's right in front of you

the inviting smile and
smokey eyes
looking at you, only you

how could you not respond
to that open invitation

does the blatant sexuality
scare you
or do you just not get it

either way just tell me
i'm willing to discuss

but don't ignore me
yet again
i wither from inattention

Author's Note: tell me when our passion turned complacent?

Oh, I could write a book! Good candid write...and "I'm willing to discuss" is a nice splash of humor.

Well, this thing certainly does a damn good job of raising that question. Good stuff.

Hmmmm, yes, the final fade... well done.

Maybe sometimes being single has it's benefits, but it's sad to hear about something like love fading. That probably hurts worse than loneliness, but in itself, it too is a loneliness that makes one wonder all the more. Too many mysteries attached to losing love. Excellent writing Genevieve.
