Metaphors from Mars (Poetry)

I couldn't Look You in the Eyes

I guess I didn't realize how important you were Until the end
You filled my time
My loneliness and
You gave me a reason to stay
I guess I wasn't really seeing clearing
I saw you through my foggy lenses
I saw you as a simply mistress
Someone to keep me company
Someone to restore my sanity
I didn't even like you like that
But when you drop me just like that
I felt kinda bad
I felt bad because I lead you on
And used you
I felt bad because you sent me a text
Saying you anxious
Don't wanna hurt anyone feels
Well what about mine?
Said you done with dating
Why'd you waste my time?
You didn't even text me back
After my reply
You didn't wanna be friends
Is it something I did?
Did I make you feel like you had to end
It like this?
I bet it's my fault
But I'd bet that's it not
Maybe it's just you
Couldn't handle the shock
Maybe I came on to strong
But I was just chasing the vibe
Giving back the same energy
You gave me that night
But it's okay
I'm all right...

"Don't know what I wanted, I have a memory.
Back at that party, there was this girl
I was all over her
We didn't make out or do anything
I just remember I was lonely

I guess I am always, it's not a problem
It's just something I got used to
Every stranger makes me feel safer
And every person seems more beautiful"
