Want

By Hunter Brown

Am I unnoticed?
It didn’t seem that way
Do you just not say a thing?

I know
But you don’t know
That I know

Is the smile a taunt
Or is it play?
I love that smile, oh the beauty of it.
That smile has been good to me.

It’s not like you to lie
But I see it in your eyes
You just don’t tell the whole truth.
The messages had me contemplating
It was good news

The lie, the one that ripped my heart
And tossed it aside
That one, oh yes, that one,
That had me crippled for days.

Luckily, that’s just words
Throw around some words
See if I care.

I figured you out.
Your icy eyes hold honesty
But what happens now?
Are you just waiting?


For me?
