DON'T BE SURPRISED
DON’T BE SURPRISED
When you read this
You’ll know it’s about you
YOU’LL UNDERSTAND
You contused me
So don’t be surprised
ALL NIGHT
You and I talked and talked
We spoke words of clandestineness
And you took my thoughts, my body
to a whole new world
I was so in love with
Then
You told me
What I now believe to be
LIES
I found you to be
INTRIGUING
Then the next day
SHHH
You decided to be soundless
SHHHH
Then the next day
SHHH
Until I finally
Got you to answer
YOU WERE ANGRY
You didn’t explain
I got angry
I said some words
That I don’t regret
Then
SHHHH
You refused to speak
to me even at all
SHHH
Why was I surprised?
DON’T BE SURPRISED!
YOU STUPID BOY!
WHERE IS YOUR HEART?
