Stranger Across The Hallway

by

Jiji Argo

Stranger Across The Hallway' is a poem that talks about people who are willing to do and give everything to someone who barely acknowledges their existence just to please and make that person see them as their special companion.

I feel your cold stares across the hallway

it gave me chills down my spine but it's fine

took your presence as validation to my existence

now I'm crying, begging you to touch my nose

we'll rent that apartment next to cemetery

if that's what you want

I'll do anything to make you feel seen

because I know you'll leave once the sun hit its peak

I'll force myself to pee at night

and act scared all the time

so I can see your silhouette

to make sure you're doing alright
