ultimatum; lover or friend

by Nanette Bellman

circumstances need to change
because when someone loves you
    more than life it's self
that should say enough
 
this isn't about how annoying I am
when I lip sync with my headphones on
and a few vowels manage to escape my cords
 
it's not about clogged shower drains
or stains on the carpet
or staying up till all hours of the morning
 
this IS about missing you
    missing you so much it hurts
because we're never alone, never together
 
it didn't have to come down to this
 
I'm just letting you know
                    it can.

Author's Note: this isn't about what you'd think it would be. roommates suck.

I think I get it, and that's painful.
