"Attention to Detail" - Poem

"Attention to Detail"

Danielle Myre 03/12/2013

Words don't speak for themselves,

You put the meaning into them. 

Silence won't help, 

Those actions tell all. 

You read the book, 

But I read between the lines, 

I don't mean to stare, 

But I pick up every detail. 

Those slight movements, 

I measure every piece.

Don't try to avoid, 

I will notice that too. 

My eyes can't stop watching, 

And my mind won't stop working, 

Gears twist and turn, 

What will the product be?

My attention to detail,

I don't want to miss what I've been waiting for,

But will I read too much? 

Or see just enough?
