):

twenty-four hours in a day
you can only spare me one
and a late night text

i only wish to be acknowledged
to be seen as the woman you claim you love
not as an afterthought

but i guess a little attention is too much to ask for

sorry to bother you

***

i would give you my heart
and all the breath in my lungs
if you'd ask
i would give it all to you
without a question
if you'd just ask

you say you'd give me the world
if you could
but i don't want that
i never asked
i want your attention
but you give it to the world

***

it
hurts
to
hear
you
say
i
love
you
because
my
mind
has
convinced
me
to
believe
that
anything
you
say
is
not true.
