Blink

Written by Jacob Ibrag

She praises herself perpetually, begging

for any attention she can retain. Dagger like

tongue, I inhale her line of reasoning. Driven

by my perception, she softly etches her fingers

across my face and makes me swear to never

look away. All I want to do, is blink.

    sounds like the person’s demanding a little TOO much of your attention, and becoming too clingy is never a good thing!!!
