Invite me.

Just standing.

I know,
  I just always seem to be hovering.
Waiting for the perfect moment.

I see it in you.

Balanced so precariously.

All it will take is a nudge.

Hand on your shoulder.

A few choice words.

It's what I want.

Still,
  it is your choice.

All it takes is a few words.

Just one time.

Invite me.

It is not a dark poem. A true poem. How many opportunity for friendship do we miss? Fear and no time leave us wandering alone. I like the feel of wanting to know someone and hoping for them to register your present. I like the complete poem. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.

It all comes down to what a person takes away. Thank you, Coyote, for taking the positive. Jon.

There's a strong desire to be let in, to be accepted, or maybe even to begin a romantic relationship, but one cannot invite themselves. Yes, I see the frustration and discomfort in this. I think I've experienced it.

You mention this is one of the darkest things you ever wrote..but I don't see the darkness..not even a shadow... it sounds like a unsure sweetness...anticipation maybe...
but then.humm I do believe as I read it again...it can be deceiving...
"balanced so precariously"
"all it takes is a nudge" makes me glad I am reading on the couch lol

I think this may be the darkest thing I have ever written. The interpretations could really get out of control. For a change, the inspiration was a very old movie.
