See Me
you never saw the enamored expression,
my sprawled infatuation, when I’d watch your face
because your gaze was always intercepted
with the loving look, you paid your phone
your heart never fell to the floor when my dress would
because your heart was never there to drop
you’ll never know how easy I would have been to please
because my happiness never made your to do list
you saw me the way you see your window pane,
dazing past it at something much prettier
my sprawled infatuation, when I’d watch your face
because your gaze was always intercepted
with the loving look, you paid your phone
your heart never fell to the floor when my dress would
because your heart was never there to drop
you’ll never know how easy I would have been to please
because my happiness never made your to do list
you saw me the way you see your window pane,
dazing past it at something much prettier

Sadly, many people only look at the world for as a place to fulfill selfish desires and never give a second thought about the hearts of others. Those are people you should avoid and drop from your life as soon as you recognize their superficiality. Find someone with a heart like yours and the rest of life's pleasures can be shared...

This poem encapsulates a poignant portrayal of unrequited love and the feeling of being overlooked or taken for granted. The imagery of watching someone's face with an enamored expression, only to have their attention diverted elsewhere, is vivid and relatable. The comparison of being seen like a window pane, something easily overlooked, adds another layer of emotional depth. Overall, the poem evokes a sense of longing and the ache of unreciprocated affection, capturing the bittersweet essence of unrequited love.
