I ask what they thought
And they look at me funny
A look in their eye
Gave off a persona,
Clarity,
That meant a million.
A look I'm all too familiar with.
You probably stare the same.
Every story I tell,
Every word I speak
Pierces you in a way
That makes you feel the need.
The need to pity me.
To detest me.
(To frighten me).
God, how I wish you would leave.
Wish you would just get out
Of my head. You never go.
Can't give me peace.
Just this once give me peace.
For now, can I lie down and not be plague
With thoughts of you, someone
I only knew
For ten days of my life.
It could be ten seconds.
You wouldn't care.
You wouldn't leave.
No, you would stay here with me.
Satisfied knowing the impact.
The greatness you left with.
And the hatred I now have.
I see a picture and I can't help
But stare on
And remember.
Was it only a month ago?
A week?
A day?
Was it only ten seconds of my life?
Someone I barely knew.
And you still seem to plague me.
No peace.
No silence.
No blink of my mind do I have of you.
It scares me to never see you.
I hate the fact.
I feel bad only for myself now.
When I should think of others.
Why think of them?
They give me the look.
The look I’m O so familiar with.
Look at these words.
Do you see them?
Tell me you see them.
Tell me that I’m not crazy.
Look at me like I’m not crazy.
But you just stare at me funny
That's what I get when I ask what you think
