Swoon

Counter-intuitive waste upon the pages
where ink kisses paper
and she acknowledges its' worth.
Woe to you for respecting my work
but woe to they for discrediting my mind.
It's less attractive when people cling
to your ideas.
It's quite humorous however
because that is what we artists most desire.
Acknowledgements.
But there is something funny about
this fact.
One who does not "swoon" to you like the rest
stands out.
You are that someone.
And for that
I may as well love you
but I really have yet to know you
You preoccupy my mind
and for that I hate you
because you are never there
to satisfy my thirst.
