What goes unnoticed.

by Poet on the Piano   Mar 14, 2015


My name is one word,
the "A" in "Anne" is capitalized,
there is an "e" at the end,
and you always get it
right
when no one else
does.

But really?
I don't give a
damn.
I'd like to think
I'm not that vain.

Your eyes smile
even when your lips
don't.
I know you better
than I know
myself.
I can't even remember
how long we've been
friends, yet I remember
how long I've been
loving you.

When everyone else
is bowing to chaos,
you see me amidst it,
when I spin my hands
nervously because I
do not feel comfortable
living
yet.

You care,
and sometimes I
hate myself for
believing that's
all that
matters.

I notice
the little things.
What do you
notice
in me?

    This is one of yours which I really connect to, and in answer to the question in this, what do I notice in you... I notice that you write things I can connect to more than anyone else on here does. I feel like I could never write again and still express my emotions and thoughts simply by reading your work!

    I love the opening of the poem, with the name and how you spell it, I relate to this because I have an awkward name that no one ever used to get right in my life, and it used to mean so much when someone got it right, but then I realised it only mattered that they got it right if that person meant something to me.

    I think you have gave this poem a perfect mix of personal emotion, but also enough room for the reader to interpret the poem into their own life.

    Love this write from you!!

    I absolutely love the simplicity in this and just how personal it seems to you. I can relate because my real name is also two names in one, but the "second" name (Liz) the L is capitalized. People usually just leave it out of my name completely or say it wrong altogether, so I tell everyone to call me Liz. Sorry for the ramble, just thought it was kinda funny.

    Anyway, as far as the rest of the poem- I know it's a subject relatable to others. When you're with someone and just ask yourself "what the heck do you see in me?!"

    I love this.
