I question your liking for me being shorter than you

seven pages

of carefully picked words

arranged and placed

where they'll get the biggest bang for your buck

because

you never leave the house

without a goal

 

no, I wasn't astounded to

find that when you cut away the hair

that used to cover your ears

you were even more deaf, than before

 

your great you know

that charm, it shows

a smile and slicked

back hair style

and you make the rounds

safe and sound

behind the sunshine image

that you've questionably earned

 

but I made sure

to go light on the accessories tonight

and there is nothing to stop

the clairvoyance that fights its way to my mind

 

hidden behind my eyes

brown and smiling

long exiling thoughts of you

being like this

 

but you didnt hear a word i said

no point in discussing your retention

I'll ask although

I already know

have you ever not been

the center of attention
