Someone I Used To Know

There I was, Minding my own business, Keeping my head low, When suddenly a flicker at the corner of my vision tanatalising like a flame dancing I see a stranger Who reminds me of someone I used to know. And just like that I’m back, In a flash, to a moment in my past. I hadn’t expected to go anywhere today I certainly didn’t ask. But there he was looking down at me Donning his usual sideways smirk. I don’t even remember his name but it seems his condescending glance had burnt itself into memory. I come to my senses. That was long ago. I’m here now, the eyes of the small child glaring, “I’m sorry I was staring, but you remind me of someone I used to know”.
