1st draft = so many problems with it -already editing it
Flattered
He’s flattered
Secretly
He needs it
He’s always sought out the attention of…
Those who will pay attention
And me
I was one of the broken few
With eyes blind
Staring…
My brokenness too obvious to him
Blatant - my enemy
He wanted so much more
He needed the people who were
Like me
so broken
so broken that
That they lived underneath him
Praying
Wishing
For just another chance
And as much as I hated it
Make it known
I felt it
Understood it
I couldn’t hide from
Myself staring me right in the face
I lied to myself that it took time
That I was so confused that it
Made me wonder
But I knew
How you could love someone
so much
that you would live under him
listen to him
Fall in love with someone else
I tried to pit myself against
Someone who looked like me
The resemblance uncanny
Eyes right with mismatched sight
Because i saw her fear
The fear that
being without him
Would be even emptier
Than ears filled with disappointment.
