Month: March 2019

Now the world
Knows who
You are
Do you think
You’re easily
Ignored?
Do you think
They will ever
Leave you be?

Didn’t feel like
Seeing you
(Because I didn’t
Want to have
Anything to do
With the past)
Didn’t feel like
Visiting
(Because home
Is not what
It should be)
Didn’t feel like
Saying a word
(Because sentences
Mix up meanings
Better left unsaid)
Didn’t feel like
Listening
(Because you’ll only
Tell me what I
Want to hear)

You’re great to have
At the club
But I don’t want
To have anything
To do with you
On the way
To work

I have to
Turn you on
To get some
Work done
And even though
I vary the tempo
It always seems
You miss a spot

I try to reach out
And hope my words
Can cover that
Icy heart of yours
Like an electric blanket
But I am cut by your
Cold professionalism
As if what I say is
Just small talk
Or a child’s game
Played to pass the time

What a wonderful world
It would be
If I shared your interests
If I knew how to
Talk about the things
That you liked

If I did win your heart
If I could captivate you
With stories you cared about
Even though I only had
A passing interest
How long could I
Keep faking it?
At what point does
Being a pretender
Become more important
Than me being me?

You told me
All the right letters
That covered the
Blank spaces
Of my heart

You’re a winner

The only reason
I’m making this
Is to
Return the favor

The only reason
I’m giving this
Is to
Get back
At you

I didn’t want to
Use the plastic
Because I won
The lotto today
So I rummaged
Through the money
And spent my winnings
All three dollars
And was able
To give exact change
At the gas station
It was a good day
