Extinct

think of me

I saw you the other day, working away. 

You didn't even notice who staring at your face.

I felt my heart drop and break again
All those old wounds how they like to pretend that all the faults in the world couldn't help them mend.

You looked right through me and I didn't think to stay.
So this is how it's gonna be.
You say you want and I just have to be okay.

I wanted more.
I know you couldn't give that but I would have preferred that you at least acknowledged me.
What was I to you?

I was mistaken in thinking we could hold out for just a moment more.

You kept saying what was it all for?
Can't I just say it was about you?
I just wanted to be enough
But you never told me.

How would I reach you, when you kept to yourself?

I just wanted to be something.
When I saw you working away.

Not bothering to stay.

You reminded me that I was nothing
