Nothing to You


Do you see me? 
Am I there? 
Or do I just dissapear? 

Am I a background character in your life? 
Or do you think of me often? 

When I'm gone will you remember me? 
Or will I just fade, like an old painting? 
Abandoned and forgotten. 

It hurts my heart to think that I don't matter to you. 

That I'm crying under my covers, 
while you dance. 

Do you hear me? 
Or do you listen?

Have my worst fears come true?
Am I nothing but a bore to you? 

I try to stay confident. 
I try to hold true. 
But sometimes I wonder, 
what do I mean to you?

    One girl’s lanky frame against the dark turf field,

    lit up by fluorescent lights 

    She saunters toward the building 

    holding another girl’s hand

  • Surrender

    The screen stares back at me: 

    9:30 pm, 

    an unfinished assignment, 

    a deadline due. 

    My weary chest heaves a heavy breath.
