Under His Gaze

I see him look at me.
I wonder why.
Can he read my thoughts
Or feel the longing
In my lonely heart?
Blushing under his eyes
I try to think of something
Other than him.
Knowing that he does not want me
I sit and I suffer
Under his gaze.
Until another catches
His attention.
And he notices me
No more.
