PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I don't know what to say,
I really didn't expect to be treated
as I was last night.
Of all people, not from you.

I didn't even know you were there
until I saw your eyes looking at me.

But as I soon as I did,
you glanced a way,
hoping I wouldn't see you.

Maybe you were lucky enough
to look away before I saw you,
but you weren't fast enough.

Your eyes sought after me,
but I didn't give in.

You walked my way
to see if I would react,
but I would not.

I don't know what games
you were playing,
but I wasn't going to be
falling for that again.

After years of friendship,
from dance partners,
to teammates,
to close friends at one point,
to being a complete stranger.

Not a warm word,
not even an acknowledgement.

I guess I really never mattered,
as much as I tried to help you during
your rough times in life,
I only ever tried to be your friend.

But, apparently that too is gone.
