Maybe Now You'Ll Notice Me
how is it you didn't you hear her scream
she cried it all in a song for you
how is it you didn't taste her tears
she served them to you in your precious china
how is it you didn't see her hurt
she painted it all
in a mural for you
on the walls of your own home
in your bedroom
how is it you didn't you feel her pain
she knitted it all
in a blanket for you
wrapped you in it
how is it you didn't smell her fear
she made you a bottle of perfume
the smell
overtaking it
how is it you didn't read it
she wrote it
all on your my space
maybe because you were blinded
but the again
she
i
i wrote it in braille for you
i danced it for you
you never loved me
i wasn't really yours to love
i was just rose bud
you tended to time to time in your garden
of beautifully bloomed long stemmed roses
nothing special to you
i hope you regret it when i bloom
oh wait
i
have
and you do regret it
you even wrote it in a song told them to play it on a radio only
i didn't hear it
i turned the radio off
and pick up a book
i like reading better anyway
