Angry Without
I'm not angry with you
Because that would imply that you are present,
Which you have made abundantly clear will never happen...in many ways that are less than pleasant.
So no, I'm not angry with you because if I were, we wouldn't be having this conversation vicariously through pen and paper,
If I were angry with you
We would be face-to-face in a screaming match while I prove that you can be your own saviour.
No! I'm not angry with you! How many times are you going to make me repeat myself before it becomes clear?!
I'm not angry with you,
Except for weekends and weekdays that end in "y" in the first 365 days of the year-
Alright FINE! I'm angry! But don't even try to make it seem like I have no reason to be,
You vanished into thin air, pretended I didn't exist, and then had the AUDACITY to blame it on me!
So yes! I am angry! Sometimes I get so angry my face turns blue!
But you can't be angry with someone who isn't here, so I guess I will settle for being angry without you
