When we met, you were an eye in the storm Stressed, hired at the last minute and expected to perform without training or experience in front of the big male bosses You gave me comfort and little endearments a well dressed if not too handsome man in tight fighting pressed pants and shirts
And I took notice as your gaze lingered and your ringless finger waved at me causing me to wonder
But now I know you're not all that You are ringless so you can flirt and I've seen you in action a couple of times after you tired of me because you always seem to tire of us and go "home" and now you no longer seek me out or take much notice except in passing or on accident and I thought it was me but it's not, it's never me with a guy like you
You went to the next and the next And there are now layers of them padding your world and I am on the outside
One layer new in your office to make the year bright such a pretty young face infuses your world with life and you seem more energetic and have let what's left of your hair grow out around the lower half of your skull in a thin layer of fuzz to remind everyone that you are still a man with a body that produces enough brown colored hair to still be visible and not a plucked chicken with nothing
Forget him, I am told and have tried so hard to do but I don't like being discarded like my mother tossed me aside it brings it all up again, all the pain and desperation and self hatred Sitting in the silence where you want a presence Being unnoticed when you want attention
But I did better without her, felt better without her and if I could survive that, I will be OK now
