The Story Of Us

You infuriate me
You upset me
You. Make. Me.
ANGRY

How dare you?!
To have the audacity
To pull on such delicate heart strings

You just played me
Like a paino-
Banging on each key until you found the sour note
Like a deck of cards-
Dealing out each problem on me

Don’t go blaming this on me
You started it
With your
Kind gestures
Flirtatious moves
And how you smiled and said,
“Hey, I like you.”

But it was just a joke
An antic
A shenanigan
A harmless prank-
So you thought

Then you said,
“Oh, I like you, like you,
but I can’t go out with you-
I’m not allowed to date yet.”

I cannot express
How raging mad I am
The nerve you have
Telling me you like me…
Leaving out your limitations

And to that I say,
“Good riddance.”
