Empty gaze

I entered the store
and stood by a corner
while my wandering gaze
slipped down her smooth skin
got stuck in his unkempt hair
caressed the flowers in her stole
met the storekeeper's empty stare
and then my mind got split in two
one was following my gaze and
the other was thinking of you

Fault

Didn't sleep a few nights
but you never came back
had my mind set on you
but you never turned up
stopped thinking about you
still not a word
not even a nod of approval
or a gesture of dissent
I will look the other side
and never cross paths
even if you smile at me
you'll see a blank face
all of this and maybe more
to make you realize
the fault in your ways
