Meat and Cheese

Meat and cheese:

The parties over,

                             In fact, it never even begun.

          The meat and cheese has began rotting

             and no one even touched it.

                                                                    I set this all up in an effort to make people happy,

                            I guess I didn’t account for how much effort it would take for people to show up.

                                      I would’ve eaten it myself,

              but I wasn’t hungry.

                                                     I was,

                                                                 I was just excited to save it for other people.

               Now it’s gone to waste.

It’s just meat and cheese, but that’s not the point – it wasn’t about the meat and cheese.

It was about the fact nobody showed.

About the fact you shrugged and thought, “Nobody will notice I’m not there.“.

But I noticed.

Because nobody was there.
