I Left Cuz You Are Strange

I saw a side of a friend 
I couldn’t trust or ever mend 
Behaviour so crazy 
it completely changed me 
disturbing, unnerving 
and it was reoccurring 
Publicly placed 
with a spaced face 
I said excuse please 
stood firm and refused me 
later marching at me 
saying can you move please 
when I would move 
and create some room 
stopped looking moody 
like I shouldn’t move usually 
done to prove 
nobody moves 
when the word 
excuse 
Is a word that’s used 
annoyed I moved 
with the point unproved 

Then lying about me 
saying I alone see 
odd activity 
that therefore must be 
my imaginary 
unaware that your mum 
had observed what you’d done 
I was not the only one 
so your lie was undone 

You were blindly suggestive 
and passive aggressive 
aiming in my direction 
repeatedly in collection
I was trying to help you 
as your mental health blew 
and you set out to get me 
slander upset me 
asserting authority 
treating me horribly 
attempts to control 
that never took hold 
and all of my senses 
saw no coincidences 
you told me before 
of the gas pipe on the wall 
that you would pull loose 
exploding when a lighter is used 
and it happened in fact 
where I would have been sat
but the person was stood 
a few feet back 
causing physical harm 
and a bandaged arm 
what gets me though mate 
If I was sat that’s my face 

Thank god I vacated 
that day I escaped it 
I’d never come back 
you’re weird and that’s fact
and that would be that 
but you couldn’t adapt 
factually rejected 
but you couldn’t accept it 
spreading this lie 
we were good and alls fine 
but that wasn’t true 
forever done with you 
and the shock on display 
telling you go away 
people confused 
It’s out of the blue 
they listened to you 
when you lie as you do 
overtime my consistence 
has kept me at distance 
nothing has changed 
I left cus you’re strange
