metaphors of how i feel to you

i'm the man drinking coffee alone at the diner who kindly asks you for the time. you reply but you don't even look at me in my eyes. i'm the lone deer you hit while driving at 3am. you don't even stop the car. you even forgot about it the next day. i'm the homeless cat you stopped feeding at night. i still meow at your doorstep. you just ignore it.
