Right Through Me

by

You knew it was me

and yet you walked right by

staring off into the cold November sky

as you always do

ignoring my presence as if

I were just another girl

just another pedestrian

just another person you never met

You looked right through me

last night at the coffee shop

where we used to meet

every day for Chai and mocha
I sat in our old spot

out of habit
I wore my favorite black pants

and your white t-shirt

I looked right at you,

an intense gaze,

and somehow I must have

disappeared off your radar
I looked directly at your eyes,

coal black as always

through your tinted sunglasses
I stared down the anger and the chill

and you looked right behind me

and sat down in the next room

with that girl

See if I look for you again
Not that it matters anymore
I am just another stranger

just another face to not

really see
You have obviously forgotten about me

NEXT?
Why don't you look at Life
