I look at you


I look at you for comfort

when I look at you I feel loved

I enjoy our quick little glances

our little moments

I feel like nobody else matters

but now we have changed

I don't look at you anymore

I don't want to even see you

when I look at you I feel hated

now when I look at you

I see nothing.
