Lately

Lately, I forgot I cared

That I wasn't loved by you

And then saw you smile

And it took me back to the days we used to laugh

Our energy together allowing us to run for miles

And I wonder what about me didn't make the cut

What about me didn't appeal to your senses

What about me wasn't enough for you

Lately, I remembered what it was like

To want to be wanted by you

And then I saw

The array of nothingness in your eyes

Something I’ve never noticed

And I wonder how long they’ve been empty

What about the world that made them die

What about the world affected your sight

Lately, I have lived in a world

Worried about you

Releasing it wasn't I who did not satisfy

Because you were lost

And I wondered what you really longed for

What about your life is not appealing to your senses

What about your life is not enough for you
