The quickest way to a man's heart really is through his stomach, that way you don't have to chop through the pesky ribcage.

Will you just look at me?
You don't have to speak
I'm looking at you
and it's making me weak
weak in the knee
weak in the heart
Broken and lonely
and falling apart
Will you just look at me?
Don't say a word
All your excuses
I already heard
why you left me
and let my heart break
You know in your heart
that you made a mistake
Will you just look at me?
Take off your disguise
I'll read the answer
the truth in your eyes
and if it's an answer
I don't want to know
I'll look away
I'll let you go

This poem is for anyone who has ever lost someone, not to death, but to indifference.
