Poem

Today I walked into our building...

I saw you... and you...

And the same boy,

Talking to the walls that he called friends.

I looked into your eyes,

And your eyes...

And your soul...

I didn't feel you burn my brain...

But I bet you felt me...

Today I realized that there is hope in this world...

Not you... you... or you.

I only see a sane reflection,

And your not standing by me.

I've learned to ignore you,

Because you bore me --- into a category...

One that I find pathetic...

Just like you?

Today was just like every other day...

Except today was one day closer...

To the day that I never have to see you again.

I tried to see the world through a friend's eyes... and this is what I came up with... simple enough? I screwed up on the poem though... the phrase "You bore me into a category" does not make enough sense... for my standards.
