You looked at me constantly
I couldn’t figure out why
To this day I don’t know for sure why
But, I’m certain you weren’t seeing me.
If you saw me
You’d know
I’m someone who survives by being alone
You’d know
my face is the same one that needs to look in reflective surfaces
just to be sure every aspect is perfect
And you’d know a piece of me is never coming back
I wonder who you saw
and who you thought was looking back at you?

You’d know

just to be sure every aspect is perfect
And you’d know a piece of me is never coming back
I wonder who you saw
and who you thought was looking back at you?
