To: The Girl That Wears Too Much Makeup Now
eggshells
are what i walk on
laughter
is what i hear
fury
is what i see in your eyes
where did i go wrong?
weve had troubles
in the past
but i thought
we moved passed them
you act as though
i don't exist
and yet you complain
i don't exhibit emotion
what am i supposed to do?
tip toe around the point
(which you've splayed all over)
until i make you happy?
you always saw me as
an enemy
i was never
a friend
to you
i was the new girl
someone to mould into
your own minion
i realize now
how dumb i was to believe
that you never drank
that night
i realize now
how dumb i was to believe
that youd never talk
behind my back
i realize now
how dumb i was to be
your
friend
i bought you a present
hoping it would
help you see
the present
"peace"
what a funny thing
something you can't
be okay with
