“Intrusive Shades” by Adam Dee

Unrequited

Annelisa Milano

I want to play a little game            like a child.             I want to throw a

           Tantrum. Over and           over you. It’s taken me all this time

To find someone new;        too obsess  -ive hurt myself again

In your name, why did I say your name            as if I cared. I should have

Called out for that other boy       in my neighborhood. I count them off

           Like ducks.            Blurred vision; I forgot the faces, the lips           on me,

Get on top of me, get        out of my mind. Call me up,        call this relapse.

It’s hard         to imagine that there was a time when I recognized               my name.
