Let's Stay Friends

Hey, I'm sorry I know we said

we would stay friends but I can't

be friends with you.

When you knocked on the door

today you took all oh the breath

out of my lunges suffocating me

until I was black and blue .

You said my name like no time had passed

And I wondered if it stung

coming out of your mouth

like your name does mine.

I can't even say the whole thing

without my heart cringing

inside itself, only getting to the first

two syllables

Solo-

Man. There it goes again.

I tried to play it cool,

to act as if my world was not trembling,

a heat flash making me feel

as if the world I was currently

in was collapsing on me, suffocating me-

Oh there's that word again.

Suffocating

You're suffocating me.

How can you do that when

I haven't even seen you before today?

How do i let you have that much power over me?

I'm sorry, I can't be your friend. I know

I promised you but sometimes we break promises don't we?
