I watched a man
slink back into
an empty corner of a
crowded room- an attempt
to draw attention.

he was lonely and
dark in a well-lit room,
only craving a
kind woman's eyes
to wander, then slowly

fixate upon his skin.
when no one
bothered to meet his
gaze, his heart
immediately withered,

sick with love's
cold starvation.

    i guess a lot of people likes this part. Because its such a strong image. Starvation, comes from hunger, a need, without you can't survive. Associating it to love, was just brillante

    "..slink back into"
    -Maybe its just me, but slink doesn't seem like a very firmilar term to me. You may want to change that, I can infer what you mean here.. but just in case.

    I like this poem a lot... It had a okay flow to it, and I liked how you described this man in the beginning trying to draw attention to himself, but in the end he didn't find anyone. Great write. 5/5.
