Connection

Desperate for connection...

Connection, the goal
Ultimate; naked need
Desperation

Just…please?

Notice me
Notice you, I do
Love you, I do

Attention, pay it
Sometimes
Please?

I pay the price
Gladly

Pay the attention
Pay with my life

I will, I do, for you
I need you
I love you

Need to share
Be shared with
Simply 

Encourage

Connect, I try 

Awkward comfort
Paranoid, over-thought 

Overwrought

So complicated
Infused with hidden perils 

Perceptions
Deep limits

How much is too much? 

Annoyance?
Yes 

Need?
Hell yes 

Help, notice, please!

Talk to me
Talk to you 

Connection, the goal
Ultimate 

Is all, is everything, is nothing
Is life

This is a poem that needed just the long, staccato rendering you gave it and contains just o piece ofpowerful, emphsising rhyme:
'Awkward comfort

Paranoid, over-thought

Overwrought'

Several streams of parallel connection run through this (if I interpret correctly); verbal, spiritual and sexual with the various interplay between them - one begetting another to make life whole. Wonderfully expressed within your style.

A small point: Help, notice, please It has never been my way to pepper a piece with exclamation marks but I think the desperation of this line deserves at least one: Help! notice please(!) - maybe even two.
Kind regards,
John

Very nice poem. I can feel the pain and need while reading your words. Connection in life is so necessary. Loved this work.
