we don't even lock eyes
& i'm trembling
from the memories I relive in
the present.
I trusted you too easily,
    let you in too fast,
     spoke about things I never had,
because there was something about you.
something that made me
want to open up and talk
and express and live.
you were my best friend,
my companion day by day.

I placed all my trust in you
and when you left
like the end of a season--
of a school year--
you left me to fend for myself
in a sea full of sharks.
but then again,
you're just another hammerhead.
