I see him
A nightmare
casually walks past me
almost not noticing
me.
                            "Hey."
I have no words
       "I've known you forever and
       you don't even say anything
                           to me?"
I feel so small

              "Well, that's okay."
                          he winks
but I am so tired,
empty
His eyes shine like
a hungry gargantuan beast
He smiles, amused
like we are sitting on the playground again
and not whole galaxies away from who we once were
