Captivating Stare


Your eyes linger in my direction a moment too long The feelings I feel for you are wrong. I am thirteen years older. You were three when I graduated high school. Twenty years later I could be as old as your mom. In school my senior year I never had a prom. In class like at work I am no one anyone likes. Even though I am straight & not a dyke. I guess to me males aren't attracted. They treat me like waste that's been extracted. On the phone or Facebook I am never contacted. Disgust, loathing, & rejection is how it's reacted. Never be someone's bitch. To scratch their needy itch. Be the boss of yourself today & make the switch. Work ethics were bended. Selfishness from a user needing rides we both tended. Charming, friendly, & admiration isn't mended. Complaints about me is what you sended. Enemies in the workplace who vandalized your Ford focus you befriended. Your dark brown eyes look offended. Toward me a favor or compliment is never lended. Politeness & sincerity is just pretended. © Harmony Sapphire . All rights reserved
