Clorox

i
knew
what
was
going to happen
before you
damn your eyes
i knew
you
better
than
you knew
yourself
so i am not surprised
don't explain
anything
you don't
need to
i knew.
i get it.
so let us
pass
like strangers
in the hall
indifferent
to each
other
i have
to see you
so i will
be calm
kind
considerate
but i will save face.
i don't think
you really know
what the term
"friendship" means
you throw it around
like a rubber band ball
hoping
it'll bounce back
and you can
catch it
in your palm
and hold it.
you'll never learn
so why
waste
my breath
or
these words?
lets just find
a way
to be okay
with each other
and move
in our
opposing directions
shall we?
i have.
now you.
