diagram me

diagram me

i spend hours in your dreams

and you still don't notice me

just as in the awakening

you walk right by my daydreams

not even a turn of the head,

the slightest peruse

i am part of the sentence

you ignore,

the article, the helping verb

the preposition

the fragment in the scheme of things

never your complete thought

i would give my life

just to be a phrase in your peripheral

but the less you see of me

the more i fade into a bookmark

a leaf between your pages

only for show

but shown no affection

i could be an important adjective

for the noun of you

but to you

less is more

and i am more or less

expendable 

in your essay eyes

This one reads like lecturer falls for pretty doe eyed undergraduate/graduate but tis only in his eyes as she fails to notice him and gets on with her life. Told full of feeling as always Jacob.
