I unblocked you on Facebook
and I looked
My temperature rose
Not in a good way
I started to sweat
You make me so nervous
I don't want to see you again
Maybe you got another job
Maybe I'm wrong, and you don't cling there like a barnacle
But who am I kidding
You will be there again
Looking, a stare a bit too long,
Then, when I need you, absent
My goal is not to need you
You are my judge, only
You will decide my fate next year
I wish I liked you, but I don't
I never did, my mind played tricks on me
It always does
Can't go that route again
Thinking of you makes my skin crawl
It's blood being pulled away from the skin
Conserved, so when the Sabre Tooth Tiger strikes
there won't be so much blood
That's physiology, fight, flight, freeze or I don't know
All I know is, I don't want to see you again.
