Q: If I’m missing, would you miss me? A: You wouldn’t.
Because I don’t believe you’ve ever cried yourself to sleep at night Simply because you were missing the sound of my voice or the sight of my smile Because you’ve never imagined what it would be like to fall asleep at night And wake up with me right next to you, incased in the warmth of your arms Because there’s never been a time where you craved my company Or just wanted to have a conversation just to be engaged Because the nice ones finish last, That is- if they finish at all Because girls like me aren’t dreamt about Aren’t talked about in flattery Stared upon on sidewalks
I don’t get Noticed
You never notice a thing
That I’ve been starving myself When there were slits on my wrist All of the tears secretly seeping out of my eyes The irregular pattern of my breathing My lack of inspiration The plead for help in my eyes
my entire disguise
You’d never notice if I went missing I hold no presence I bring nothing to the table I offer what I am, And when you’re too busy Everything I am fades into the background
And from the sadness of my heart, it’s soothing to know That I wouldn’t make a mess if I chose to go.
