am i a pain in your ass?
i ask them, they laugh, they say no.

well, am i preventing you from having fun?
i ask them, they laugh, they say i am their fun.

okay, well, am i your plan b when plan a doesn't work?
i ask them, they laugh, they say i don't make sense.

sure, okay, well, what is it that you want then?
i ask them, they stay quiet because they don't understand.

what does it take to care for me too?
i ask them, they get mad, they tell me they do.

well, why have i not felt a single care from you then?
i ask them, they give me that look, they tell me it's just me.

if i had a camera following me around everywhere, it'll be the most concrete evidence you'll ever find, to prove you guilty of all the things you've done, of all the lies you've told, of all the vain promises you've joined your little finger with mine to seal.
i tell them, they stay quiet.

they leave.
