Standing Outside Your Window

Don't you want me anymore?

Homonyms sound the same

But their meanings split

And so did we

~~~~~

You opened the window

Called out like you cared

But when I came

You slammed it shut

I stood there

Lost in the cold

Don't you want me anymore?

~~~~~

You watch me

Through the window

Make eye contact

But no open door

I see you let others in

I used to have a key

Now they walk in

Where I once stood

Where I once laughed

Where I once mattered

~~~~~

I'm so sorry for being slow

Now I'm just a ghost

Outside your window

Would you close your curtains too?
