Stares

You were staring at me today again

Looking at the way I look

I turn to look at you

But you turn away

Leaving me worthless and ashamed

Ashamed of the hope that you actually care

Ashamed that I let you see the real me

Ashamed at those stares

I turned to collect my paper

And I didn't know

That you were staring at me

Pretending that everything was fine again

I felt that stare as I was standing across the room

I looked at you this time

And you didn't turn away

I see you stare

And I return it but

Is this real

Or are you gunna leave me

Standing at the sidewalk with my heart bleeding in my hands
