" look at me, look at me, look at me "

" LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME "

You stared, hopefully. Silently wishing. Praying, for I was your messiah and you an indebted servant. Though I hung on a wall alone, I never left your side. Dependent on me to show you false truths, I became a crutch for emotional injury. Look at me. You know you want to -- need to in fact-- we know you need to. Who else but I can supply you with sufficient fallacies to get you your fix? You in return gift me the pleasure of watching you. Witnessing you self-destruct. Your broken spirit, an untold desolation. Beg me for the reassurance you seek and never avert your eyes from my gaze. And if anyone asks, tell them we’re fine.
