A Poem by aftervision

you look at me

when you should look for me

 

you talk at me

when you should talk to me

 

checking on me
when trust is not in your heart

checking on me
hoping that my version of you don't start

 

you keep an eye on me

second guessing my every word

 

you listen to my conversations

to see if your story i have heard

 

all i ever asked for was you
your heart and your time

the same thing that you promised
when you took mine

the last stanza of this is wonderful. you make great connections between what we want, and what we get, and what's lost between the wanting and the getting.
