No One Looks At Me
A Poem
No one looks at me the way you look at me with stars in your eyes and the depths of your soul behind those irises
No one looks at me the way you look at me with gentle disgust because I forgot the f*cking egg rolls last night
No one looks at me the way you do when you’re half-dressed luring me into your web and never letting me go
No one looks at me the way you do when you hate me so because I’m not him and never will be I’m just me Inadequate
No one looks at me when we’re together because our forcefield is impenetrable to the outside world all trying to get in to take our love
No one looks at me when we’re together because it’s so uncomfortable for them and everyone else on the street because we are so toxic
No one looks at me because I only have eyes for you The one I love with all my heart and who loves me back at times
No one looks at me because I am a crumpled mess of a man lying at your feet waiting for you to pet me
That’s why no one looks at me
