One Word

Is it possible you wound me even in a single word?

The power you have over me is really quite absurd.

And frankly I can see this unrequited love affair

Brings nothing short of one-sided, of which you’re unaware-

I am sure of it, despite incessant captivation.

And so the story goes with hidden transmissions

In verse and rhyme

I hide behind

My childish infatuation.
