Rhyme

Your heart breaks a little every time.
His eyes glance over when you’re not aware.
Your hands shake a little at his nearness.
His head turns a little, to see you standing there.

You pretend you’re unaffected.
He’s mastered the move so well.
You turn your back in defiance.
He sees you, he knows, & he can tell.

You walk past him, barely looking.
He notices, but he remains unmoving.
You struggle to regain composure.
While he goes back to what he’s doing.

You stay as far away as you can.
He goes wherever he pleases.
You wonder why he’s so difficult.
He somehow broke you to pieces.

You wonder why he has that power.
His mind barely thinks of you & what you do.
You continue to fight this losing battle.
His heart still can’t seem to beat for you.
