Following Poser Poem by I AM THAT MOUSE

what is this i feel
jealosy amidst

flattery, my
vitruvian prince,

and his former
princess

following my every
move needing

affirmation
not finding it here

but she
searches for it in me

my vagueness
keeps her wondering

keeps him
wondering as well

her appearance
causes apprehension

on my part
maybe his too?

his words confuse me
apologetic or sarcastic

or reading to deep again
i fight the battle

with no offense
and weak defense

fearing that the
wall will not hold and

give way to
feeling like the
former

desperate for an answer
without asking
the question
