As if I’m not even there
You continue with your life as if I’m not even there
Laughing
Joking
Texting
As if I’m not even there
You ask what’s wrong
I blankly stare
Something is obviously wrong
But you don’t even care
Discussing choreography
Gossiping
Twirling your hair
All as if I’m not even there
But there I lay with mascara drawn shadows under my eyes
There I lay with my head propped against your thighs
There I lay seeking comfort amidst despair
Listening to the gossiping whispers
As if I’m not even there
