Ten Responses To the Question, Are You Mad At Me
Ten Responses to the Question, "Are You Mad at Me?"
One. What did you think it meant when
I didn't answer you the first time you asked?
Two. Are you only sorry if the answer is yes?
Three. The things I feel are not
Meant to be your punishment,
But I won't apologize for feeling this way-
Four. I'm not angry, just in mourning
For the person I thought you were-
Five. When did the movements of my lips
Start meaning more than what my eyes
Are telling you?-
Six. You never used to have to
Ask me this question-
Seven. Loneliness was never being alone;
It's looking at the person that you love
And realizing that they never knew you-
Eight. I miss you.
Nine. I just want everything...
To be okay...
Ten. No. It's fine. I'm not mad.
