Yes you looked at me

You looked at my dull gaze

You looked at my reluctance to join in

You looked at my silence 

You looked at my loneliness 

 

But you didn’t see 

You didn’t see that I was dying inside

You didn’t see me slipping away

And when it was too late you saw

You could’ve stopped it

You could’ve seen

But instead you just looked

 

You looked but you didn’t see.

Do you look at me? Do you hear the rumours? You looked but you didn’t see. Until it was too late.
