It was when you picked up those old words.
Gave them to me again.
Squinted when I did.
You didn't know me but I knew you.
Knew you more
Than I knew friendship.
Oh, don't be so hurt.
Nothing compares and yet I say I'm doing this for you.
I vowed never to lie again and yet
I said I was going to bed then ran.
I know only so many phrases
in this world.
And some are bound to hurt.
It was when I studied your eyes but you never knew
the color of mine.
When I memorized your stories and you never
gave me a chance.
Saying you hurt me first and you saying
you didn't know what you were doing.
And you didn't.
But now I don't care.
Because you should have.
And now I do,
And so I ran.
I'm a worm.
Going through the dirt.
Many things I leave behind,
but I have a collection in my mind
of things that make me smile.
About the Creator
How, Too
Many people wonder how, too. You are not alone, and I am an expert. I will teach you how, too! First, you need to remit a small application fee and fill out an application describing the nature of your financial situation and how often payments will be made, as this will have great bearing on how well I teach you how, too.
