Things to know

why can't you leave me be

you keep texting me
no contact hasn't crossed your mind yet
i don't know why you bother
i know you have better people
to talk to, better people to do

why are you so pressed
about if i answer or not
we aren't anything
stop worrying
shut if I've responded
it'll be easier on both of us
as soon as you get that
through your thick skull

you and i are nothing
you're nothing more than a stranger to me
we aren't friends or lovers
not ex lovers or anything close
i don't want to hear your voice
or read your messages

i just want this to be over
why can't you leave me be?
is your ego really so big that you think
ill run to you because you
snapped your fingers?
is your pride really so important to you
that my wishes are irrelevant?

did you ever stop to ask yourself
what i needed from you?
or maybe why i acted the way i did?
did you think about when you said
ill see you later
and i said nothing in response?
was that not telling enough
of my intentions?

if you had looked closer
to what happened those nights
did you see how careful i was
to not pick a fight?
or how i watched my tone
so that you wouldn't get upset?
did you realize that i wanted the clock
knowing that ten o clock wasn't
to far away, and hoped you didn't leave?

your texting like you care about me
but your words told me something different
when you said you were coming over
you didn't say
im going to see you, I've missed you
instead you said you were
going to take my body
that you've missed it
and you need a reminder of
what i feel like

if you cared for me at all
you would have shown it
through more than just
whispered i love yous in the dark
of my room
or the gentle slide of your fingers
against my legs
or the rough kisses
you pressed to my mouth

but now it's a useless thing
to imagine getting more from you
simply because
we're done
get it through your head
im done
