Your name pops up on my screen
but I glance away
telling myself I can't let you back in.
I can't allow you to come back
even if the thought of your eyes
haunt me and cloud my judgment.

Your friend's ringing me now
but just like you I ignore it.
She was never my friend,
only a spy, digging dirt for you.
But truth be told
maybe we were both to blame .
And I won't let myself
back down that rabbit hole.
