You see there are ways of seeing, even in the dark of the night.
The-I'm worried for your happiness, and how you wear it carelessly like a dress with the straps falling off- gaze.
The- I want you right here, right now, but anyone else will also do- gaze.
The- it's a crowded room tonight but desperately trying to avoid you makes the corners of my eyes work overtime- gaze.
The- telling you lies by looking at you boldly and bored in the face- gaze.
The- we're shaking hands and saying hello because all possibilities are ours in this moment- gaze.
The- even though this success is yours tonight, I played my part by being in your life- gaze.
The- I'm smiling at you but my eyes are roaring for that other person across the room- gaze.
The- I'm staring at the fluorescence of my phone screen waiting for you to look away- gaze.
The- this's a screaming plea to you to learn my piece through desperate, tiny furrows in my forehead and practiced curves of my smile- gaze.
The- obvious knowledge of my beauty tonight earned me my right to look bored- gaze.
The- I have my family and tribe by my side and Loneliness checked out earlier- gaze.
The- these dark glasses let me stare at your body leisurely and inappropriately- gaze
The- that object of beauty you're all unavoidably sneaking glances at, is all mine- gaze.
The- this world seems more promising if my eyes stay slightly hooded- gaze.
The- I dare you to spot the outlines of the places I yearn for in my dilated pupils- gaze.
The- fallen from grace and gleefully rollicking in instant gratification tonight- gaze.
The- dull longing, exploring, wondering and wishing artfully hidden behind infinitely blank eyes- gaze.

The- I'm looking at you looking at me and knowing that you co-habit this sorrowful moment with me where it breaks our hearts that we will never know each other even though we're probably meant to be together -gaze
