Lipstuck

it's all ego.
i think of them all
when i hear certain songs
or dream uncertain dreams
and i inevitably wonder
did i stick in their craw?
am i anything at all in some
remote corner of their mind?
did they love me blind
in their imagination
was i ever a stagnation
of fantasy and enchantment
awaiting the freedom
of being found
in a soft but steady embrace
has my face lit any fires
that i don't know about?
i have been a legend in my own mind
i have been mousy
a wallflower silently begging
for a sip of water
and i am more curious than i should be
i should stab the dreamy out of my heart
mark my words
it's only ego.
