Are You Watching Now?

Attention.
That’s all your pretty little tears
And perfectly smudged mascara
Achieves.
Waterproof isn’t for you
And your selfish little pity-parties
For anyone who stops by
To pat your arm
And tell you
That
“Everything will be alright”

You break into fits of sobs
When everyone’s watching
Because to you
It’s all fun and games,
And the sobbing is just your
Cute little trick.

Come here,
Come here,
See I need you more,
I need your sleeve.
Let me wipe my nose on your sleeve.
Come here,
Come here.

I won’t ever come
To you.
