Are you hungry? Did you take your medicine? You look tired. How was your day? My day was boring. Did you sleep well? You should eat. Don’t forget your keys. I did something right in raising you There’s fraud at work - I love you. Sometimes there are spaces between your words, or unspoken glances And I wonder if you like me Other times I close up and go silent talking to my father Because I feel guilty. I feel your unspoken gaze And I wonder if you really love me You look tired. You’ve been working too hard Do you need help with the cooking? Do you want to hear a poem I wrote? How did you sleep? All my friends tell me how nice you are. I have too many assignments - Thank you.
