As if I’m not even there

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
