Like I Do
I can't tell if you care.
Or if you notice
ice cream bars left at my apartment,
hazelnut chocolate,
you said you didn't want it
Do you just want to feel
heat in your palm,
a push on your shoulder
Something?
in your chest,
in your hands,
the lack of rest, clothes full of sand
Am I just fun
someone you go to
when you can't sleep,
basketball, crunching leaves
To you?
a voice filling an empty room,
crossword puzzles, guitars out of tune,
bagels, gummy bears, sleep in 'till noon
Did those two seconds mean nothing
a handshake, caffeine to stay awake
movies, burnt popcorn, the flowers I gave
to you?
"I don't know what to say,"
a cold walk home, clenching my waist,
salt water, hope, streaming down my face
I have a headache
I've had it for the past three days
warm showers, waiting for
hours,
it won't go away
I can't tell if you care
like I do
a chipped fingernail,
I don't know what I mean to you
