3. If only

56 10 5
                                    

Out of the corner of my eye

I see you looking

At me.

I pretend not to notice,

Not to feel

All the pain and suffering you have made me go through.

All the tissue boxes lying on my bedroom floor,

Accompanied by puddles of hot tears.

If only you knew

How much it pains me

To see you

With your arms wrapped around her.

If only we could get a redo,

If only life worked that way.

If only.
