ROMANCE Poem: Audience of None, by Clover V. Gislason

I never loved you but I loved being seen. Your eyes follow me as I dance. Your ears bend to any whim. Your mouth is mine to use where I please. You were perfect. I wish there was an audience of you. Hundreds of you all to watch and clap, but now all the seats are empty. You left and I miss your applause. Kisses from strangers are no sweeter. You all taste the same to me. I don’t care who I kiss as long as they don’t pull away. But you pulled away. You left. I’ll be lonely till I find someone new. Standing on a dark stage waiting for my que. Wish you hadn’t left. I think I liked you.
