I’m Looking at Her
I’m looking at her and she is looking at him
And I wonder why she is not looking at me
I see her carefully crafted clay wiped skin
How it matches my metal crust covered coating…
I wonder what kind of layer she sees in him
Maybe his skin is covered in crystal wiped porcelain
The kind that makes her clear doe- eyes appear lidded
I’m looking at her and she is looking at him
And I show her how cute my shy-smile can be
But that still doesn’t get her attention off him
Then she gave her confident, well-structured smile to him
It honestly fits mine, or sadly deserves his
Maybe his smile made the corner of his eyes crinkle,
She kinda finds comfort in that, just maybe
So she’s looking at him and I’m looking at her
I see how her arched eyebrows compliment her eyes when she stares at him
I see her curvaceous body carefully placed for my display
Or maybe his; But I wonder, what’s in Him?
What does she see in him…?
That my clean Trim-shaved chin does not impress her
That my educated posture does not make her feel enlightened
I’m looking at her, and she is looking at him
That alone makes me jealous of him
Jealous because my athletic body doesn’t make her feel fit
Not enough to make her want to tag along for a crosstalk jog
Or… Is it because my abs doesn’t give her goosebumps?
Maybe my broad-masculine chest isn’t soft for her small round head
Or maybe she wants it more hairy than it already is
She is looking at him and I’m looking at him
All I see is a reflection of her looking at me
Just us two… and I thought
Maybe my reflection made her too weak to turn
Maybe this is my chance to repeatedly ask if she is single
Even after she tells me she is, because I just want to be sure
Now I’m looking and her, and she is looking at me…
And she can’t breathe out…
I can’t breathe in….
