Like me…

Wondering if you still like me; unlikely.
These days things don't really excite me.
Begging for your presence politely.
No text or email. Why don't you ever write me?

The future was supposed to be secured tightly.
Fed you everything then you turn around and bite me.
You are not the one, but I'm still thinking you might be.
Struggle sleeping in the nightly; demons still do fight me.

Threatening my career, knowing that I don't take things lightly.
Like a smudge on a windshield, you didn't hesitate to wipe me.
Light me, light me. You're the only one who could ignite me.
Your love had me higher than a kite be.

Please, don't look away when you sight me.
Your silence is applied just to only smite me.
Moving on, I try to put the pass behind me.
I'll be present at your wedding, even if you don't invite me.

Wondering if you still like me; unlikely.
You put a check over my name just like Nike.
Yes, I am crazy, but you are just like me.
We didn't end on a high note, but I honor you high key.
