Why do you keep asking

Hey, look at my nails, 
I know its an interesting shade of pink 
Yeah, its a new skirt 
I just had to get it when I saw it 
Yeah, I'm over him... 
How did you tell it was new? 
Oh, yeah, the stickers still on... oops 
oh, man, look at my shoes.. 
I just bought them, the store had a sale 
I got like five new pairs of shoes 
I said I'm over him 
oh, and I also got this pretty eyeshadow 
I know! it does make my eyes pop 
I got a pedicure too, yeah, it matches my nails 
How did you realize that 
Its not that bright of a pink 
I know, the shoes are just hot... 
Yes I'm sure I'm over him 
Why do you keep asking?

its a one sided conversation... so its JUST what the girl is saying

[Patricia B. Hepler]

In her self talk, she is trying to convince herself that she is over him; her mind is disagreeing...
She appears to be purchasing her self esteem by inhancing her physical attraction, with little success.. Trying to keep sadness at bay.
Excellent storytelling in poetry format.~ pat
