A Simple ‘How are you?’ Will Do


Meaningless banter

Empty conversation

As a friend I’d think you see my mind is stuck

Replaying a situation 

I’m sure you do but I guess you don’t care

At least that’s what I assume 

And that I can’t possibly bare

If I’m being transparent I’ll admit that pains me

I think about the encounter as my tear drops stain me

It’s okay you’ve just shown you’re not good for me

If you were you would’ve tried to cheer me up 

Relentlessly

At least I know now to guard my heart

I was the board and you were the dart 

But I say no more 

I know who I am and what Im worth

I love me so much I’d wear me on a fucking shirt 

I thank you for the lesson you unknowingly taught me

It truly means a lot

I bid you farewell though, 

You’ve definitely lost your shot

Like I said before, a simple ‘how are you will do’
