i know
that you know
that i loved you
when you tolerated me
and now
i will never
be able
to face you
and now
when i am forced
to see you
my mouth fills
with an acrid taste
and now
instead of smiling
my lips curl down
in the corners
when you meet
my eyes
with yours
but
my heart still
flutters with nerves
and i know
yes, i know
that you
are no good
for me.
