Confused

I saw you today
waiting in the hallway
and you didn't even
acknowledge my presence

I decided to break the ice
which seemed to have grown over
while you were away

So I said hi
with a bright cheerful smile
you mumbled something
looked at your shoes
and walked away

And now I'm standing
alone in the empty hall
watching you with
your back to me
walking away

Leaving me
one-hundred percent

Confused.
