09. I've Given Up Caffeine by Arianna WoodsThe last time we spoke
I didn't, wouldn't, couldn't
Make a sound.
The click of the receiver being set down
To hang up
May as well have been the click
Of the safety on a gun.
You shot.
I knew I'd want you back
As soon as World War III was over
The nuclear bombing that ended the world
And I did. I wanted you back.
Others do not compare.
You are crazy. I'm crazy
For missing you.
I watch you watch me
In class, in the hallways.
With green eyes that stand out
Sea green that strikes a nerve
A face, a glare
That could bring me to my knees.
I know it's useless to want you
But I do. So badly.
And I guess that it shows feeling
Or something like that
