Don't talk to me
Your voice
It grates against my ears
Like the endless buzzing
Of an irritating lamp
No, I don't want your light.
Don't sit with me
I'm busy
Feeling sorry
For poor lonely me
Why, oh why do I have no friends?
No, I don't want your warmth.
And please
Don't look at me.
Your gaze
It burns into my skull,
Itches like a rash
I won't look you in the eye
Instead
I'll freeze
A rabbit caught in the headlights
Won't move 'til you avert your gaze!
I'm begging you
Just go away.
