see me

i knew you didn't care

i just knew it

but my heart basically said screw it

so i marched into your room

and bent down and kiss you

i was grabbing your face and closing my eyes

but when i opened them you weren't staring back at me

you were staring at the wall

with a sad smile on your face

your hands reached up to touch your lips

and i heard a sound,

a sound i can still hear when i'm all alone,

alone again because you couldn't see me

you started to cry

you finally realized that you missed me

but it was too late

I was already gone

but i forgot too because i have been thinking about you,

all day long.

you finally cried for me

for once

i never thought i'd be so happy to see you sad

especially when you can't see me

i'm dead, god damn it

they always start crying for you

when you're dead
