Seen Me

I don’t –

I don’t find it easy without you

Actually I find it excruciating

I sit umming and ahhing 

And ruminating

But the sun comes up, you’re still gone

And it’s devastating

I thought you only dance for me

But tonight your feet are levitating

Clipping and clopping and clapping

For others without hesitating

But I tell you to stay out, don’t I?

And why?

To satisfy my cry for sleeve tugging

To pry more love from your heart as it’s chugging

I lie so you don’t question 

The tears trapped behind my eyes

But as soon as that front door locks

They prize their dirty way out

Of my groping lashes

A vicious reality flashes before me

I see you enjoying yourself

And my whole night crashes

I see you 

Chatting to women

Purely platonic, you promised

By I’m swimming deep waters

I’m dimming the TV light

And grinning to myself

In the front camera

Just to see what I look like

When I smile at you

And it’s nowhere near as dazzling

As the girls in these fantasies

And I’m bleeding

I think of us starting a family

But I’m seething 

My dinner tastes bland to me 

And I’m grieving

For the person you first met

You ain’t seen nothing yet

You said last night was the worst

You’d ever seen me.
