this

such a simple subject line to
draw attention to
inbetweenthelines
things you'd usually overlook
and people you'd usually see right through
tell me in a week
about the people you care about
and I'll bet they're not in your contact list
today

tell me how to get through the day
I'm looking for alone
and surrounded by threesaparty
and I'm attracted to his laugh
and the way he never ceases to
awknowledge my existance
(something so overlooked these days)

I'll spend my nighttiming
writing for my life
waiting for that one person who
tells me "you're worth it"
because I'm still here
with nowhere to turn
and there's another knock on the door
we all know where that leads

I'd tell you I was happy
but I'm stuck in this limbo
where I can't decide if they actually care
or if I'm just another name
another phone number
another "friend"

something so untrue
because I can't think of one person
within a 200 mile radius
who might actually listen
this that the other

come back to me
you're much too far away
to extract meaning from my words
I miss you every second of...
you forgot to make the effort
I forgot to make the effort
we're falling apart
while you're growing
and I'm still...

the end
