Level

Which reminds me as I stare
At your face so stern
Did I tell you how I saw
Your mistake, why don't I learn?

The way you talked and laughed
The way she whispered close
Did you forget I was there?
Did I become a ghost?

No big deal, oh really?
That's just the way you mingle!
Then why are we together
Might as well be single.

So now from my point of view
Let's look at it from there
You on the other end
Not funny, do I dare?

Stop and think a minute
How you'd really feel?
If you were wearing my shoes
It's much a bigger deal.

Good wording and rhyming in this piece. One small suggestion: it would be a good idea if you presented the last line in your last verse as "It's a much bigger deal".
